library two point oh

What is weird about Renaissance Festivals is that it's an event attended almost exclusively by BIG NERDS. Its purpose may be to illustrate that that things weren't so great back then. No electricity!?! Mud?!? Torture Devices?!?!? JUGGLERS?!?!?!?!
And then there was this guy:




DANIEL, DUKE OF DANGER. He was pretty awesome, especially his corny jokes which revolved around the theme of What Happens When You Drop Out of College.

What they definitely did not have in that backward time of jousts and wenches was LIBRARY 2.0. (Did they have libraries back then? Did people know how to read? )

Thing #14 reminded me a lot of library school, and the many, many articles we had to read about vague concepts. Basically, it's a broad topic, but here are my thoughts in a nutshell: I think it's very cool that a lot of libraries are trying so hard to stay modern and relevant, and that there a lot of non-library folk who have no idea that libraries are so hip.

There you have it.
