Welcome to the Kelley Library blog. This will be a biweekly column to inform, to entertain (I hope!) and to introduce you to some of the interesting events, resources, books, and goings on at the library. It can be a challenge to make sure that all our users - current and potential - hear about all what the Kelley Library has to offer and this blog will just be one of many paths. Coming up with a good name for the blog was an interesting process, and I think I hit on one that is appropriate for a library column: As the Page Turns. Look for it on our webpage.
Who am I? Well, I am the director here at Kelley. I've been here for about 6 months now, and am delighted to be working at Kelley and living in Salem. I hope you realize what a great part of the country this is. I came from Pittsburgh, PA and after seeing this am happier than ever that I no longer live there. I welcome your comments, suggestions, ideas and questions. I will respond to all, and post your comments to the blog to share with all the readers. And I will be listing books, movies and music with each posting (see at the bottom of this posting). They will all have some relationship to the topic of the posting, but sometimes the connection might take some thought - like today's. Let me know if you get the connection. Have I read or seen all of the ones I will list? To be honest, no. But they will all be part of our collection and well worth a look.
Welcome, hope you will make it a habit to come back regularly.
