National Librarian Day on April 16 is a chance to be thankful for all the knowledge that librarians possess. You may think of them as book-slingers who spend all day cataloging and reshelving, but librarians play a much more important role. From children’s storytime to literacy classes, libraries offer a wealth of free public resources.

Trained in Library Science, professional librarians work with complex cataloging systems to organize books, make purchasing decisions for their library, liaise with local schools and universities, organize events and programming, teach classes, and more. Their role is constantly evolving to adapt to new technology and social needs. Celebrate National Librarian Day with us and say thanks to the awesome librarians that are always on hand to help.

Back around 15 or 17 years ago I set out on a mission of sorts to read every single one of Louis L'amour's printed works.

 

 

My local librarian in Cornish Maine was instrumental in making that happen.

Interlibrary Loan System.

Cheryl took the time and energy to go through the list with me well over a hundred Publications to see which ones I needed and how to find them. She was requesting books from all around the country for me.

Yes sir absolutely.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 130 books

Most were westerns because that's how he made his money. That's what sold. But what he really enjoyed was adventure stories and also crime dramas.

 

In fact we found one book that was not listed on the website set up by his estate. It was on a list someone else had put together that was on bookmarks at the time.

Sitka.
