Oh the things you can learn...

This post just in from LISNews. I'm enjoying keeping current with what's going on all over the country in all kinds of libraries with this blog. Most of the posts are serious but it's so much fun to catch a typo like this aka David Letterman. Maybe this is what we need for all those reluctant weeders out there. You know who you are.

"Perfect Weeding Music"--a CD Swap for Library Folk

Your CD mixing skills wanted!

Last week, Emily Lloyd (of Shelf Check) noticed that her library carries a CD of wedding songs that bears the manufacturer's typo "PERFECT WEEDING MUSIC" and posted about it to Twitter. Twitter user surferrosa (Nanette Donohue) thought that "Perfect Weeding Music" would make a great theme for a mix CD, and the Perfect Weeding Music CD Swap was born.

Nanette writes, "The deal: Create a mix CD featuring songs that you would consider 'perfect weeding music.' Songs that inspire folks to dig into their library's collection and get rid of the old, the outdated, the stuff that looks gross, smells bad, and is so dusty that you wonder if it's been touched in decades."

Each participant will send out two CDs (and each participant will receive two CDs in return). Items must be mailed by December 31, 2008.

Please feel free to publicize this swap on your blog, your Facebook page, your Twitter stream--the more the merrier!

If you have any questions, please e-mail nanette.donohue@gmail.com.
