SW Happenings

Bridget from SW wanted to share some photos with everyone.



SW has a display on photography, including different cameras and photographs. The photographs are from Bridget and Dana at SW. The display is shown in segments as it was tough to get a large picture without glare.

Jessica's shower was last week, so here are pictures from that event.

What Books Are You?

From guest blogger Kay Johnson:


"If you were asked to pick five books from your bookselves that define you, which would they be? Or, for that matter, from any shelves, whether you own them or not?"

I expect most of us will have to go home to look at our bookshelves, but I am looking forward to everyone's answers! Remember, you can comment without being an official blogger--just click on the comments. You can check the blog from any computer with an Internet connection, too!

Have a great, refreshing holiday!

TLA Conference 2008

I had the opportunity to attend the TLA Conference this year--it was great! Lots of wonderful presentations and the opportunity to network are just two reasons to go. And we had a little fun, too. I was present when the Bookcart Drill Team competition was held, and it made me forget my tired feet. Please enjoy this excellent video courtesy of YouTube.
