New blog

I love a new blog! It's so fun to pick a template and create a new place to write, read, comment, and use technology!

The purpose of this blog is to provide a place for me to think out loud, write a bit, and learn more about how to use technology in my library. It'll also be used as a way to comment to people participating in 23 Things, my district's summer professional development for employees.

The blog name comes from an actual occurrence in the library where I work. Consistently, over the past 4 years, I have had squirrels in my library. They live up in the 2nd story (I have a 2-story building w/ only a roof, no ceiling), we live down on the 1st floor. 2 years in a row, they have procreated and had little squirrel babies up in their area. It's completely adorable, a huge health hazard, and a total nuisance... but I love them! And so do the kids!

ETA: This blog replaces the 23 Things blog that I used to have. It was originally located at: http://librariantourguide.blogspot.com. I got a little too confident with my ability to use html code and I completely and accidentally destroyed my 23 things blog with faulty html comments. I didn't save the original template, and so the LibrarianTourGuide is no more. Oops! That's a testament for making sure to save the template, as they suggest for you to do.
