I just thought I’d post to let any passerby know that I’m on hiatus from Kick Butt for the time being (and obviously have been for a while now!) I’m expecting a baby girl on May 11, and have had a bit of a knock-you-on-your-bottom 8 months of pregnancy thus far. I keep stumbling on great material I want to blog about, but never make it to the essential step of actually posting anything. I’ll see you when I regain my body and my brain. In the meantime, my best to all you kick butt librarians out there!

What are Library Services Really Worth?
Quickly see how much you’d be paying out of pocket for a variety of services if not for the free public library! Check out Chelmsford Public Library’s Library Use Value Calculator, a cool tool that kick butt librarian Jaclyn brought back from the TLA conference in Dallas this year. May be especially helpful for a City Council meeting, during budget times, or when you need a reminder that what you do really matters!
“The Librarian”
Holy moly! Many moons ago, Ryan and I actually sat through the made-for-tv movie The Librarian: Quest for the Spear, which stars that cutie from ER, Noah Wyle. Of course I had to watch it—it’s about a librarian who saves the world, after all! How much more kick-butt could a librarian be?
One would think that, having sat through the original monstrosity, we would have learned our lesson and stayed clear of the sequel. But no. When The Librarian: Return to King Solomon’s Mines came on the other night, we willingly cozied up on the couch to watch. At 11:00, about an hour into it, we gave up and called it a night.
But now (and I’m slightly embarrassed to admit this) I kinda want to see the rest! It’s a weird phenomenon—while you’re actually watching, you know it’s cheesy and ridiculous, but upon reflection, you think you may have indeed enjoyed it.
(It’s probably just Noah’s adorable face that’s throwing off my judgment.)
