2011 was a year of professional renewal for me. The biggest change was a lateral promotion to a smaller library in an urban, economically-challenged community where I have had a chance to pull out my old social worker skills and put them to use again. I have had the opportunity to connect with and be inspired by lots of folks working on the front lines of the struggle to improve all aspects of community literacy; reading, information, health, financial, workplace, etc. I am looking forward to 2012, the Year of the Water Dragon, the end of the Mayan calendar, and any other thing this next 12 month period is labeled as because I have plenty of work to do, places to go, and people to meet. (QUEUE sparklers and fireworks)
My Reading Resolutions are to read (or finish reading) the following books:
1Q84 by Haruki Murakami - I am savoring it like fine wine (or a cask of Amontillado...)
The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes - Won the 2011 Booker Prize
The History of White People by Nell Irvin Painter
War and Peace - Pevear / Volokhonsky translation
Cheers!
