NPR Reports on the Resurgence of Libraries

Stop the press! It's an NPR 'driveway moment.' All Things Considered featured a segment on how "Libraries Shine in Tough Economic Times."
It proved so popular with listeners that many responded the next day and were featured in "Letters: Resurgent Libraries".

With the down turn in the economy, patrons are coming back to the library in record numbers. If ever there was a need for libraries, now is the time.

What was most impressive was that the Library Director for Boyd County Public Library, Debbie Cosper, was working the reference desk while she was doing the interview with Melissa Block! Kudos for Cosper!

How did I come up with the name of this blog?

Funny you should ask. :) Ok take a blender and put in Indiana Jones + Laura Croft + NPR Librarians Kee Malesky and Alphonse Vinh blend well and what to you get? The Librarian : Quest for the Spear! (Hint: Click the Logo to take the library tour ;) IMDB did a very nice job with the cast listing.

This little mini-series aired on TNT. It's out on DVD and I'm sure it's probably podcasted too.

Inspired Description

Of course I was inspired for my description from NPR's A Prarie Home Companion and the reoccuring character, Guy Noir - Private Eye segment. Check out the link for more inspiration from everyone's favorite radio gumshoe.
