Last night at dinner, we all shared a story of something that happened last week that everyone is supposed to post on the blog. I went with all the other secondary librarians up to see the new renovated U of U Library. It was really neat. They have one whole floor that is devoted to "collaboration," so there are lots of tables and chairs and spaces for people to meet together. We also got to different parts of the library such as the automatic retrieval room (they have many books now stored in an automatic retrieval system), a book making machine (that can make and bind you a book from Google books or from a digitized book from their rare books) and Special Collections. One of the highlights of the tour was seeing Wallace Stegner's chair and typewriter which was on display. It was an interesting morning.
PS We walked around a lot too, so that probably helped with the Winter of Fitness.
