It's a polka dot world

Last night Mary-Ann Kirkby made her much anticipated (previously postponed) visit to our library. A good crowd was on hand to hear to talk about her childhood and read from her book I am Hutterite.

If you haven't read this book, I highly recommend it. It's available in most bookstores across Canada (if not sold out).

Growing up in Western Canada, Hutterites are a part of my daily landscape but I didn't know much about them. Mary-Ann's book gives a vivid picture of this wonderful culture that makes up part of our cultural richness.

As a bonus-- I got a mug from Polka Dot Press, the publishing company that puts out the book.

I'm back (and I got video)

It's been a while since I posted but August was very busy with the Arts Without Borders Festival and work. It took me over a month to get my lawn mowed.

Things are getting back to normal (I hope).

Found this cool, song from a blog I follow:



Thanks to Ruth Kneale of Random Musings from the Dessert. If you haven't checked out her blog you should-- it's not always about library stuff.
