I think I say this on a fairly regular schedule, I dunno, once every few months? - but, so what, I'll keep on saying it. I *really* enjoy doing what I think of is "real" librarian work ( Read more... )

So, a friend, and someone who I think very highly of and respect utterly got herself like a $2,500 grant to basically - attend anime cons.
