There are a lot of reference librarian blogs out there. Here's another one! I'll explain how I chose the name: On Walden Pond. A couple of weeks ago, a patron called on the phone and asked if we had a copy of "On Walden Pond." I said, Do you mean "Walden?" She said, "Yes." I said the book by Henry David Thoreau? She said, "I guess so." We didn't have a copy at our branch and so I offered to have a copy sent from one of the other branches. Then she asked if we had it on CD? And I said no. So we arranged to have a copy of the book sent from one of the other branches in our system. Right before I hung up the phone - I had a thought. And I asked, "Were you looking for the DVD "On Golden Pond" with Henry Fonda? Guess what? She was.
