The Readers' Advisory will be televised... New Saturdays @ the South

OK, so I promise I'm working on some new original material for this blog including a couple of new regular features. But for now, here is another link to my latest Saturdays @ the South posting.

And now for the promised blog extras:

So this post only featured a couple of truly favorite television shows because both space and budget at the South is limited and we don't have too many true TV seasons. FYI- all time favorite shows? Law & Order (the original is the best, am I right?) and Psych.

My primary goal for this post was to get our blog readers to think of the library in terms of more than books. Sure we do books (and do so very well, in my totally biased opinion) but we're also a programming library that has some unusual collections including disc golf sets and some other incredibly cool items coming soon. The library should be a place for fun as well as study or quiet. A place where people can think about planning their weekends, whether that means getting a museum pass, borrowing a stack of books or getting ready to binge-watch a show they might have missed on the first run, not just a place for free internet access when homework needs to be done or the IRS forces people to use the internet.

Hopefully this and future blog posts will start getting people to think a little differently about the awesomeness that is the library. (Plus, it gave me a chance to feature Violet Crawley quips and really, where's the bad there?) Oh, and here's a favorite quip that didn't make it to the post:
