Situated in the piedmont region of North Carolina, the Greensboro Public Library (GPL) system hosts a central library and six satellite libraries to serve Guildford County. These seven libraries support a diverse community of 242,817 with 12.4% of residents speaking a language other than English at home (U.S. Census Bureau, 2009). The Glenwood Library branch located at 1901 W. Florida Street was established as the depository for the majority of English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and foreign language materials held by the GPL. Since multiculturalism is among the forefront of current issues, we have questioned whether the GPL’s decision to host nearly all the multicultural materials in one particular library branch was an appropriate move for the Greensboro community. With the traditional user group of the library changing, libraries must adapt to the needs of these new demographics.

I made this beauty for a get together I attended tonight. It’s very heavy on the stomach so only a small slice is required for enjoyment.

Also I’m loving this video of Beyonce from the 2009 European Music Awards. The first few lines are amazing.

Suddenly my roommate decided that the afternoon before the costume party that she wanted to be Lady Gaga. Cue a frantic four hours of me sewing together this beauty while she worked on making tiny stitches on my costume.

The dress is a $5 find from the Goodwill, the wig is made up of two wigs sewn together, the dark pink material around my waist cost $3, and the crown was $3 to make. The most expensive part of my costume was those $16 gloves. I looked awesome!

I hope your Halloween was splendid!
