The Soloist by Steve Lopez

This book was so very interesting, so very painful, so very revealing, and gave real insight to the effect of paranoid schizophrenics who live on the streets. Steve Lopez's quick stop one day to listen to an African American homeless man playing violin in a tunnel reverberating with speeding cars, and the sounds of Skid Row, proves to be fortuitous for both men. Lopez's efforts to get this Juilliard trained musician into "safe" housing was met at every turn with Ayer's obstinate will to be… Continue

The document is posted on John Blyberg's blog Blyberg.net - A library Geek… Continue

Libraries in Bangkok - yes we do have them!

About three months ago I started a small campaign to increase the profile of libraries in Bangkok, mostly via the website http://bangkoklibrary.com. As a teacher of English as a foreign language, I was keen to find out as much as possible about libraries in Bangkok, to develop good reading habits in my students and to find resources for expats and people like me living in Thailand. There are some really great libraries here - many of which are packed… Continue

Nings in the classroom

Our freshmen English classes have just begun to use a Ning in their I-Search project. Has your school done this? Happily the library instigated it when the department chair came to me to ask how we (library) might creatively contribute to the project.

We've rolled out 3 Nings for the three freshman teachers late last week ( Ning.com was great at removing ads after getting a request from me) -- a few bumps but so far working. Will keep you posted.

My Book

Hi! If there is anyone out there interested in poetry, I have had a book of poems published entitled Sweet Sorrow. I am very proud of this and it is available for purchase at www.amazon.com or www.publishamerica.com I feel these poems are very easy to relate to.
