    2020 Booklist. Book 1: Acceptance. Excellent wrap-up (tho with no closure and wasn't expecting much) to the Southern Reach trilogy. A little more understanding on what was going on and a lot more time tromping around Weird Florida. 2019 list is here:

    Book 9: The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu. Should have been terrific, was not. A mashup of the race to save many carefully collected ancient manuscripts (spoiler, they're still not totally safe at the end), and the political minutiae of the Mali insurgency. Too many beheadings.

    Libraries, let's lend out digitized copies of our print books! Chief Officers of State Library Agencies (COSLA) just endorsed the Position Statement on Controlled Digital Lending by Libraries.

    Book 8: The Poser. A complex and somewhat dark tale about what it means to be yourself, when you've only ever known how to be other people. A gift. I enjoyed it but might be careful who I recommended it to.

    Cover of the hard cover book the poser by Jacob Rubin sort of a old timey yellow design on a green background

    The Ohio Library Council was formed (as the Ohio Library Association) 125 years ago. They got dragged in the media almost immediately.

    I have never seen someone with six figures worth of unread messages before. Leonard (who just sits in) mentions he's been getting Fedex scam emails. He knew they were scams because "I heard about it on the radio" Whatever works, right? EOM

    Marian can't play Scrabble on her iPad. It quits after ads play. Maddening. We close it and re-open it. Make sure it's updated. Delete it and reinstall it. Fixed! Also Mahjong works suddenly. "You know that's not actual Mahjong, right?" She laughs and we dish about American Dirt.

    It's the Friends of the Library wanting to know if I can help them sell books online. Sure, but not right now! Also email with outreach librarian about doing drop-in to help ppl with census. Need to clarify if this will be paid or volunteer (I've gotten better at asking)

    I give her the standard lecture about making sure she is editing the *right copy* of the spreadsheet (it's so confusing to people) and explain what the E:\ drive is. We do some formatting. Happy I know where they buried Word Wrap. I get a phone call! (I do not do phone support.)

    Patty has a creaky laptop and LibreOffice, wants to edit a spreadsheet she made with a meal plan for her mom. She made it (somehow) in LibreOffice Draw (not Calc) so moving it over = 1st step. I show her some formatting tips. She wants a backup & saves a copy to a thumb drive.

    Next day at library. Jane has a question about her printer. Her son, who I gather is a handful, set it up to print wirelessly in the house but she can't make it work on her tablet. Wireless printing is so often a weird mess. I walk her through some of the common fail modes.

    We munge a thing together using Win Slide show & hitting space bar to stop/start. I get to look at some truly amazing Galapagos photos. I suggest she ask her son to install Irfan View. I've said it before but I learn so much at this job. Today I learned about seals.

    Starr Strong has an awesome name & a laptop full of nature photos. Wants to make simple slide shows. We try some things. Picasa doesn't exist anymore. Libre Office "Too much work" Built in Windows Slide show has NO timing settings. Irfan View can't be installed "My son did that"

    I'm surprised, but I look at his keyboard (which I warn him about). He knows what an on/off switch looks like, but what's THIS blank mystery button? 🙄 I say I'm at the library on Weds; he tells me a story about a mean librarian back in the day."They're all new now!" I tell him.

    Kip's a carpenter, got a Macbook Air as payment,moving from a desktop PC. I suggest "switch" guides but he says he's not great with books. I give him a quick tour of obv, differences (CTRL vs ⌘, close window vs. close program, what is FINDER, updates). He's never turned it off.

    Susan always wants to know the "Why" of things. WHY won't her speaker reliably connect to her phone? I'm not great with why questions, I just want to fight with it until it works. Susan has, amazingly, a stereo/audio cable which will mostly solve this problem, except the WHY part

    Back to normal drop-in time, a few people, and a few new faces! Susan, my regular, has Bluetooth speaker issues. "Did you read the manual?" "It didn't come with one." "Did you look online for one?" "No." "Let's get you the manual..." Last week's tweets:

    Sending out a library newsletter during a library conference is great because I get to read SO many away messages. They are varied and interesting. So anyhow, here's the newsletter.

    Just launched a different browser to get this to work and found SIX identical 1099s on my desktop. I have become my own drop-in time client (they were downloading in the background while asking me to please wait!) 🤯

    I usu. work from home, so I don't get to participate in but I do get to play the home version "Is this website fucked or do I have to turn off all my ad-blockers just to download my 1099?" [gif of a jaunty "please wait..." circle which does nothing for my mood]
