Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby! Dobby will have to punish himself most grievously for failing to post to the RAVALA blog for the past three months! Dobby will have to shut his ears in the oven door for this.
But Dobby is back, and hopes to be blogging on a regular basis to keep you updated with more RAVALA information. Dobby knows you missed him!!!!
A few updates regarding staff...
Donna Keslin's film program received a nice writeup in the Colorado Libraries blog. Be sure to check the ALD website for updates to her Classic Film Series - she's added information regarding Hollywood Musicals and will soon be adding a section on classic comedy films.
Manitou Springs Springs Public Library is hosting their fourth annual "Author Fest of the Rockies" on October 2nd & 3rd. According to their website: "Author Fest features many educational and training workshops for fiction and non-fiction, Internet promotion and publishing, poetry writing, dramatic reading and writing/art contests for students and adults." Among the presenters is ALD's Terri Clark with the presentation "Tapping Into Your Inner Teen: Writing for Young Adults" on Friday afternoon. You can get more information about the event (including registration info) at the Author Fest of Rockies website.
The ALD entry for the Overdrive Outreach Program Contest place fourth out of almost 40 entries. Curiously, the ALD video entry was featured on the Overdrive Blog regarding the contest results... while the first through third place winners were only mentioned. Maybe that was because the other entries were... uh, how do I say this nicely... BORING!!!!! Anyway, if you haven't seen the video, enjoy the catchy song created by Nick Taylor and friends below.
Again, Dobby apologizes regarding his absence, and asks you to send him ideas of what you'd like to see in the RAVALA blog. No death threats, please... Dobby is used to death threats, sir. Dobby gets them five times a day at home.
