Drake Memorial Library: It's a bird, it's a plane...: It's the intrepid Kim Myers, (left) from Drake Library, ascending up in the cherry picker with a staff person at the University of Buffalo's...

So Charlie and I went to UB and Buffalo State on Friday to visit the Library Annex, and check out Buffalo State's Digital Commons. Very enjoyable, and I got to go up 2 stories in the cherry picker seen above.

Spring semester 2012

The semester (SUNYIT), not Brockport starts this week. I am somewhere between nervous and a wreak. Ugh! I'm wondering why I do this to myself? I'm not in my 30s, my 40's or even on the early side of my 50s. Okay, enough whining for now.
