I thought I had an opportunity to give away some old Dewey Decimal books. Someone had asked for give-aways for a friend. This friend travels overseas and helps struggling libraries set up their collection. But, alas, my 16th and 17th editions were a bit too old. (I didn't tell her that I had some even older then that!) Some things you just can't even give away! Sigh! :-)
.....Oh well, I have found a use for recycling old books anyway, actually, I should say book covers. They transform into really neat purses and are cute gifts, or - as one library I know - use them (purses) to raise money for FOL! (A dewey would make one BIG purse!!!)
About Me
- penguinn
- Rogers, Arkansas, United States
- On Warrior Librarian, I journal about my life as a librarian. Thus I can record the life and thoughts of my professional career. ...I have just updated the blogs on "Warrior's Librarian" blog and removed the ones that are broken, or no longer keep current.
On this blog: Arkansas Pilgrim I am taking a broader scope, so no matter where my profession takes me, or what comes across my mind, I can glob - I mean - blog it here. It may be a humorous memory that comes to mind, a poem I wrote, or an issue that I think I just HAVE to comment on.
I have recently begun blogging for the library where I work: Books, Bones and Beyond.
I also have a genealogy blog at Wagner Sisters. You will find the "Ghost Buster" blog here.

That would be a tote bag not a purse! I think I could handle a purse made out of something like that - but some of the ones online I've seen made out of old kids books just make me cringe - the poor book!
