Like her father before her, she chose the books for Bristol's Rogers Free Library, and read most of them first. (Some categories she shunned, letting other Library people choose the romances and Westerns.)Granny Howe referred to those as trashy novels, my father said. All but those were delivered to the house before they ever got to the library.
Sidetracked. Isn't this post about videos? One of the librarians at the Westport Branch sent me links for four videos she put on Youtube. Keep in mind that these were taken on a cell phone!
You can see another of the librarians recording the workshop on her iPad, so there may be more videos to come.

Oh, Priscilla,
Your comment about librarianship being in your DNA, whether you look before or after working as one, reminds me of a comment a fellow librarian made to me after I switched to full-time storytelling: You can take the librarian out of the library, but you can't take the library out of the librarian.
I see it in my own work all the time -- my blog at http://www.StorytellingResearchLoiS.com, my website of http:LoiS-sez.com, or my other blog of Civil War newspaper articles on a MI infantry regiment.
Never fear, I see it still in your blogging and even all your work on puppetry. Puppets Rule! you've claimed, but Trixie could make you confess your approach is influenced more by your time as a librarian than by that of the traditional puppeteer behind a stage.
It's clear librarians feel at home with a member of the library clan!
Thanks for the comment! It's true, my puppet work is always informed by my history as a librarian. The library clan, indeed.
