Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of --- for credit is like fire; when once you have kindled it you may easily preserve it, but if you once extinguish it, you will find it an arduous task to rekindle it again. The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.

Summer has officially arrived! Has anyone out there already started working on their Accidentally-Fell-Asleep-While-Reading-Outside Tan yet? No? Well, you better get crackin’! Just make sure to apply sunscreen beforehand --- the lobster look is no fun and it's not healthy either! And if you need some book recommendations, we’re here to help, with tons of great summer reads.

I travel so much that when I get to explore some place new, it’s quite exciting. I am feeling that way about attending the American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference in New Orleans this weekend. Lucky for me, my son Greg is working this trip with me and has stomped these grounds before, thus I know I have an intrepid travel companion.
