Note from Michael: I’m serving as a mentor for ALA Emerging Leaders Group J this year. One of the members of this outstanding group is Justin Hoenke, who’s joining the TTW family as a contributor. This is his first post. What does it mean to be an ALA Emerging Leader? I’ve heard a lot of things come out of peoples’ mouths.

The Librarian in Black writes: I’m pleased to announce that my first book, Technology Training in Libraries, is set to be released in March of this year! This book has been a labor of love for the last year.

Darien Library Spaces, originally uploaded by mstephens7. On the 20th of November I got to spend the day with the good folks at Darien Library in Darien, CT. I spent time with Louise Berry, Allan Gray and John Blyberg touring the incredible new building, meeting with staff over lunch and afternoon tea, and taking in all the wonderful things they’ve done with their service model.
