A Loose Cannon in Darien

We like loose cannons at Darien Library, and that goes double for loose cannon librarians:

Announced this evening:

Kate Sheehan will join Darien Library as Head of Knowledge and Innovation Services on March 1, 2008. She is currently Coordinator of Library Automation at Danbury Library, blogs at loosecannonlibrarian.net, is an active speaker on Library 2.0 and social software initiatives, and has gained national recognition for implementing the first LibraryThing plug-in to a library catalog.

We are lucky to have her join our staff and I’m looking forward to working with her.  Congrats Kate, and welcome!
