A note about the Berkshire Blog: Now that I'm using Twitter  (in spite of my noisy early protests) my posts here will be less frequent. But the blog format remains more congenial to a writer and researcher who knows that it is rarely possible to say anything significant in 140 characters. Fortunately, my blog posts automatically turn up on Twitter now (making me far more conscious of the first handful of words I write, which is a good exercise). And WordPress is allowing us to create shared blogs around certain subject areas.  Feel free to add a comment to any post.  I will reply! Comments and questions about China, social networking, and sustainability are especially welcome.  Visit me at Twitter: karenchristenze.

Deluged in Great Barrington

We’re deluged but, no, not with snow. The big blizzard skirted the Berkshires. It’s beautifully wintry here, and everyone got to work but Joe, who happened to have gone to New York for the weekend. He called at 11.30 and said it had taken him five hours to get from Long Island to Grand Central Station. What we’re deluged with is amazing submissions for Heart of the Community: The Libraries We Love.

Tomorrow is the closing day–Valentine’s Day–and as our authors know there’s nothing like a deadline! We had 14 submissions today, by regular mail and Express, and Fedex, and UPS. They’re splendid, too, seeming to get better by the week.


The photos here show today’s submissions, and also an especially beautifully presented submission from last week. We’re going to be putting the all of them on display at the Public Library Association conference in Boston next month, and that’s when we will announce the winners, to be included in the book. But every library will have another chance to be featured in the 2007 (and future) calendars, and we have more excited plans for making this on ongoing database of ideas and successes.
