On Tuesday, May 5th, the Tumbler Ridge Public Library will play host to Vicky Bye and her Itchy Feet presentation. During her travels in Thailand, Vicky saw many elephants, and elected to make them the focus of her presentation.
I urge everyone with a hidden (or not-so-hidden) fondness for elephants to come down to the library at 7 pm on Tuesday to see these photos.

Barbara Adler cancellation
Library staff have learned that Barbara Adler has come down with pneumonia, and will be unable to perform tomorrow night.
Betsy Trumpener, CBC Radio personality, reporter, documentary producer, and writer (author of The Butcher of Penetang) will still appear, but library staff have changed the schedule to the following:
Book signing: 7:00 pm
Performance: 7:30 pm
CBC personalities do not visit Tumbler Ridge often, so we encourage everyone to come down to the library and meet Betsy Trumpener tomorrow night.

CBC Radio mentions TRPL
CBC Radio One mentioned our library this morning in reference to Betsy Trumpener's upcoming visit. They even mentioned our website and gave the URL, which was pretty spiffy. In fact, the only downside was that as of this morning, the poster for Mike Nash (tonight's Itchy Feet author visit) was occupying the main page of the library's website, and the Betsy Trumpener stuff was off to the side in the Events bar.
I updated the main page to feature the poster for Betsy Trumpener and Barbara Adler (after all, if CBC is going to give us publicity, we should try to coordinate matters), and removed Mike Nash's poster. I felt a little bad, but later rationalized it. I have the next four days off, so it was a choice between cheating Mike Nash out of a few hours of website advertising and cheating Betsy Trumpener and Barbara Adler out of four days worth.

Library 2.1
This is the first of (what could be) many posts from the staff and board of the Tumbler Ridge Public Library. Of course, the blog is waiting for library manager+board approval, but I'm sure they won't mind me getting a head start on it. (especially after the library's Wikipedia page was marked for speedy deletion, then deleted).
