The Internet is full of tips for inducing labor for all those moms-to-be at the same stage of pregnancy that I am: the stage where we’d really like it to be over. My doctor says that none of the old wives’ tales really work, but I must admit that I’ve been taking the stairs down [...]

- Serve the Community or Serve the Individual October 27, 2009I know that as a library, we are here to serve the community. But on a day-to-day basis, I don’t work with the community, I work with individual people. Are the two mutually-exclusive?
