Maybe there is something about being a librarian… Most of the places I’ve worked, where there have been a large librarian population – tea breaks have been the norm, not coffee breaks. When I was out on work placement in the UK, I noted that my supervisor and colleagues were adamant that I take my… Continue reading Want: Twinings Lady Grey
Weeding a library
As a librarian, from time to time, it is all about weeding the library. My lecturer would call it part of the collection management. It is essential, unless you have oodles of space. Books go out of fashion. (A number of management books that are immensely popular for a couple of years or so, and… Continue reading Weeding a library
Video: How to organize your bookshelves
I am rather fascinated by this method of organizing books. I have to admit that when I sorted my books… I went with the true and tried… the alphabet after much deliberation. I do like sorting the books by color, I also want to find the books again.

Rewatching: Bones season 1

Milk chocolate sorbet

Intrigued by the concept, and having a love of chocolate, I rummaged through my cupboards and… Continue reading Milk chocolate sorbet
