Paddington appears in a television advertisement which shows the curious bear for once trying Marmite instead of his usual breakfast spread.

Awesome! I haven't been able to use the "Libraries" tag in a while.

Our great friend Mike has been very busy out there at the Pueblo Public Library. He has created a teen area that will draw more teens in and appeal to their interests.

Here's an excerpt from the email news we got:

"For the last 10 months, Mike's been busy creating a Teen space in the big new library he works at here in Pueblo. He and a team of people wrote and received a...grant last April, and he's just about spent it all setting up a great place in one wing of the library. Last Sunday the local Pueblo Chieftain newspaper did a pretty good story on him...and yesterday he was interviewed by the local radio station. Exciting!"

There are some neat pictures of his library, the Robert Hoag Rawlings Public Library.

This is great news from great friends. They are so awesome...

Now to get a copy of the radio interview...Mike has an amazing speaking voice...

Chalk one up for the librarians! As this article in Forbes mentions, sometimes ya' just need to go to the library to find the stuff for which you seek...
