    #ALAAC15 Let’s Be Librarians!

    Librarians A to Z Johnson 1988 Submitter: When I first started at this job back in 2000 , we were still using those flip ledgers that women is using on the back cover. It seemed ancient then. After two weeks, I was done and automated the process. I of course…

    Friday Fiction: White Squaw

    White Squaw: Hot Pursuit Hunter 1989 Submitter: This is not a library book, but someone put it in the book drop. wow. Is this a series? Are there White Squaw books 1-17? Wasn’t 1989 a little late for this kind of racism? Thanks for the donation, kind library patron, but I think this…
