The 80/20 Librarian: Focusing on the 20% that matters

I am really excited to be on a great panel next week with Maribel Rodriguez (Prince George’s County Memorial Library System) , Natalia Febo (National Museum of the American Latino), and Ranald Woodaman (National Museum of the American Latino) on Saturday…

Here are some of my professional accomplishments in 2025 that merit mention on the blog Featured in the September/October 2025 Public Library Association Magazine article, “From Idea to Action: How Maryland Libraries Support Emerging Adults” written by Tim

I really enjoyed being part of the Prince George’s Community Television (PGCTV) newscast the other day.

I attended a meeting recently and heard the acronym GELMO used.

I was given the wonderful opportunity to share some thoughts for a section of the The Crab, which is the Digital Magazine for the Maryland Library Association, regarding Emerging Adults.

I liked reading the following excerpt from Gregory Boyle’s book Barking to the Choir on page 26.

Reading through Gregory Boyle’s The Whole Language, I really like’s Boyle’s insights on the importance of Culture and Community.

I started reading Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet by Thich Nhat Hanh, shortly after the author’s death.

Many people look at the top priority of their day as directly related to what they can do that is most effective and productive given time urgency.

I’m finding that if one sets their mind to it, you can take a simple amount of gratitude and extend it into infinity.
