And which Library will I see you at on May 4?

I didn't mean for this post to be a two-parter. But let's just say, it's a creative way to invite you to our 2nd Annual Creative Conversation!

When I said I'd see you at the Library on May 4th--I neglected to tell you which Library. So that Librarians all over the Delaware Valley don't feel pressured into entertaining you with witty and creative conversation on May 4th, I decided I should tell you exactly where our Event is being held!

OK--let's try this again . . .

It's Monday! . . . or is it Sunday Mornin' ?

Jerry Lawson & Talk of the Town were competitors on NBC's five-night event The Sing Off. When you watch this video, take a good look at these guys.

Jerry Lawson is 67 years old (part of The Persuasions for 40 years) and the rest of the group must be around the same age. These guys competed against nine other a cappella groups--who were at least two generations younger--and beat out more than half of them. These "oldies but goodies" sang their way to #4 in the whole competition.

So take it Easy and enjoy listening to some "oldies but goodies" music.

Happy Monday!
