2007-2008, Grandot's Blog

This blog is now dedicated to the memory of Dorothy Cochrane by her elder daughter, Scottie. I started it for her in the summer of 2007. Mom turned 90 on June 30, 2008, reaching her last big goal. She fell on July 3rd and suffered a brain injury that took her peacefully away on July 6th, surrounded by her children. I will continue the blog as a way of keeping in touch with friends and family who enrich our lives every day, but are dispersed to the four corners.

ALA Midwinter in Philadelphia, January, 2008

The American Library Association Midwinter meeting in Philadelphia was professionally and personally rewarding, as always. I gave a talk on the unusual work Denison and Kenyon College are doing in combining the technical services (back room) library functions. We're now able to do more to make ditigal resources available to our users, clear up long-standing backlogs, and generally provide job enrichment for our staff. We had fine meals with Mort & Julie, Carol Parke, and other friends. and LOVED being next door to the Reading Terminal Market with its fresh food stalls, produce, bakery (the apple dumplings were especially divine), and more!


Regina Carter, impressive jazz violinist, plays and tells us about her life for the Arthur Curley Lecture

Carol Parke shared a fine Vietnamese lunch with us
