#Tumbrarians

[poemas-letras-y-artes]

Somos el resultado de la suma de nuestros errores y sus consecuencias, lo que con voluntad resulta del aprendizaje después de cada subida y bajada de la montaña rusa de emociones con que la vida en cada vuelta nos encuentra.

Somos la respuesta al abrazo a tiempo del amigo que con calidez nos alienta, pero también el recuerdo de las cicatrices impresas en el alma las que al verlas nos recuerdan nuestras debilidades y fortalezas.

Somos el peso que elijamos cargar del ayer pero también la elección de lo que con convicción se suelta, la aventura y desventura de recuerdos a olvidar y olvidos queriendo preservar lo mejor de sus vivencias.

Somos el equilibrio conseguido después de tanto desequilibrar y los intentos por mantenernos vivos al transitar a diario, esquivando tropiezos en medio de los despojos de un mundo de amor vacío.

Somos los restos de lo que logremos rescatar del naufragio contínuo al navegar, en medio de las tormentas con que la vida nos quiera probar…

They face budget cuts and closures, but they're a lifeline for people like me. Libraries should get more respect.

The convenience of the public is always to be set before the ease of the cataloger. In most cases they coincide. A plain rule without exceptions is not only easy for us to carry out, but easy for the public to understand and work by. But strict consistency in a rule and uniformity in its application sometimes lead to practices that clash with the public’s habitual way of looking at things. When these habits are general and deeply rooted, it is unwise for the cataloger to ignore them, even if they demand a sacrifice of system and simplicity.

Facebook Event

All are invited to meetup up at Jersey City's fantastic Barcade. Barcade features several dozen classic arcade games that are all available to play for just 25 cents!  Barcade also features a host of fantastic craft beers, with a portion of their taps dedicated to local beer and they offer some great food for your enjoyment as well.

All NJLA Member Services events are great opportunities to meet other NJ librarians, network, discuss our field and learn new things. Its a great chance for NJ librarians to get together, meet and discuss the world of libraries.

If that were not enough, we will also be featuring a very special LIBRARY THEMED TRIVIA with prizes for each correctly answered question and a grand prize for the most questions answered.

Directions - Barcade is easily accessible from the Grove Street PATH station. While there is no parking lot, there is street parking all around so with just a quick 5 minutes you should have parking.
