Neologism, we should say. Whatever you call it, the bookBot—a robotic book delivery system—is just one of many nifty features at North Carolina State University’s James B. Hunt Library of the future. Check it out here.
NCSU is my alma mater! Proud. Our graduating class’ gift was a monetary gift to the library; wisely spent, apparently!

I’ve been blessed in my education.

My Career Counseling textbook for Spring Semester is wicked expensive everywhere, and chegg.com has the ebook version for rent for 180 days (until July!) for 61.70. Should I go for it? Good or bad things to say about Chegg?
Given to me by a crisis line worker when I was in undergrad. Thank you, Carolyn, wherever you are.

Still working on my Delicious Library catalog. (Currently at 495 books, 10 movies.) Enjoying the process—and the amusing things that occur when all items are simply alphabetized. Exhibit A!
More pictures from my 9th grade characterization project. Check out the close-up of the old man from The Tell-Tale Heart. What was going on in my 14-year-old brain that I came up with that? I don’t know whether to be proud or slightly alarmed.
Found my 9th grade English report on “Characters in Short Stories”: December 15, 1986, for Mr. John Montgomery at Quail Hollow Junior High. The illustrations slay me.
The stories:
- The Monkey’s Paw, W. W. Jacobs
- The Tell-Tale Heart, Edgar Allan Poe
- The Lady, or the Tiger?, Frank R. Stockton
- The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, James Thurber
- Other people: I'll just go to the first lecture and listen to the course intro, then I'll buy my books after. It's not like I need to have any reading done until the second week of classes.
- Me: I will check the website until school bookstore is selling all of my course's books, and buy them ASAP, and start reading as many as I can before classes start, and I'll probably buy books for courses that I'm not even enrolled in, and I'll read all of those, and...
St. Jerome, 2nd half of the 15th century
Niccolò di Liberatore da Foligno, called l’Alunno
Italian
Tempera and gold on panel“St. Jerome is the patron saint of students and libraries and was one of the Four Fathers of the Western Church.

His cardinal’s frock may allude to the appointment which he held under Pope Saint Damasus I.”
