		<description><![CDATA[It seems fair to claim that there’s never been a librarian publication quite like the Annoyed Librarian, and there might never be again. Born during the brief golden age of librarian blogging, it’s the sort of thing unlikely to be repeated in different circumstances, for better or worse depending on your perspective. The golden age [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago this blog published its thousandth post. I was so caught up in the hurly burly of existence that I didn’t even notice, but after a thousand posts and almost ten years at the Library Journal, it feels like time to take stock of a few things I’ve learned over the years.

		<description><![CDATA[This is my last post about libraries and overdoses. Probably. I promise. It might be alarming to anxious Americans who dream of emigrating that Canada isn’t the utopia some of them imagine. It has an opioid crisis as well, and the discussion of what to do about overdoses occupies their librarians, too. You can learn [&#8230;]]]></description>

One reaction is Senate Bill 7026, which the ALA and AASL don’t like. The bill sounds innocuous enough. It’s about “public safety,” and appropriates $400 million to this: authorizing the awarding of [&#8230;]]]></description>

Usually it strikes the washed mashes as outrageous, too, but the washed masses are too busy washing to make a big deal out of it. The latest bete noire [&#8230;]]]></description>

It’s all part of the gradual elimination of school librarians in districts around the country amidst budget [&#8230;]]]></description>

There are probably lots of answers to that one, but I can’t think of any. I’ve never changed a light bulb in my library because I’m not the [&#8230;]]]></description>
