    Jan 20 2026

    am a doctor of information and library science, and I've been a librarian for more than 25 years. That means I like to know things, and I like to figure things out - and want to explore all the mysteries I can find. We are going to explore some small mysteries that nobody has solved yet. So, if you're curious, and just a little bit nerdy — you're in the right place.
