For the last three years I've been providing librarians in our state with an Institute in the summer to improve their skills and humor. Each presenter must tell a joke. Then everone votes on the best one. "OVERDUE" won last year. I also provide each participant with a page of humor in their packet. Your site provides lots of fun for all of us. Thanks.

Hi, I am a Library Technician from Sydney, Australia. I've been dreaming about coming to US and settle in Minnesota ever since I was 7. I have been looking for a good website to get to know about how the American Library system works and if my 4 year Diploma would be enough to find me a job in the US. This site has been so helpful and I actually book marked it. I will be visiting this site everyday from now on. Great Job!
