Librarians at Lunch

Sally:
Talked about Susanne English the UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT Librarian

Style Weekly-Sally likes Style Weekly because they posted William's picture and Lost ad for free. (William is her cat who was lost for 3 months and then finally came home one day)

Tofu-Sally found a new type of tofu that is packaged and doesn't have to be refrigerated

An audiobook she forgot she had and is now listening to it in her car. She is happy she found this audiobook.

Sally told us about this book Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street by Michael Justin Davis

Gail:
Told us how the Library of Virginia Reference Librarian lives in her apartment building.

She has a cottage in Massachusetts on the water that needs a new roof.

She wants my number so in case it snows, she can call me to pick her up.

Antique Road Show-stories from that show she found interesting

Amy:
Richmond Public Library Reference Librarian who found 3 books previously owned by Thomas
Jefferson. I found the story to be super cool.

Discussed why I don't like audiobooks

B.A.R.K Farm-How I am excited about volunteering there

Asked why U of R is not closed on MLK, outrageous!

Talked about how I really like the Library of Virginia and how good the collection was for me when I was in school.
