Shanachies Bring Inspiration Back to Monterey


I'm still catching up from the Internet Librarian conf in Monterey this past week. I was especially excited that the Shanachies were back at this show, exactly 1 year after their first inspiring appearance.



As you may recall, these are the Dutch guys who drove across the US last fall, interviewing librarians. They ended up writing a book about it that comes with a way-cool DVD movie of highlights of their trip. During their return to Monterey, they launched the book at a festive signing in the exhibit hall on Oct 21.

(L-R) Geert van den Boogaard, Jaap van de Geer, and Erik Boekesteijn enjoyed signing copies of their book (ShanachieTour: A Library Road Trip Across America) for fans.
If you want to see lots more (better!) pictures, go to Flickr and search for "IL2008 + Shanachie".
And if you need inspiration on ways to use storytelling to promote your library, get their book/movie combo. (Full disclosure: I was the project editor, so of course I think it's a great package!!)
