Shorty is Celebrating 10 Years in 2012!
January 3rd, 2012 by ShortyIt’s hard to believe that Shorty has been around for 10 years! What started as a 2-page document to share the good news about a new job with my friends and family grew into a six to eight page community newsletter. It was then turned into this blog in January 2010. Did I mention that it was a monthly newsletter? I wrote, designed and edited Shorty In Da House every month. I only missed a couple of months in later years because of conferences and other activities. I’m still here, though!
I’ll have some activities planned later on this year; feel free to provide suggestions on how I should celebrate. But, please join me in celebrating. Read the very first issue of Shorty In House now.

Brainerd Library Staff Rocks!
November 3rd, 2011 by Shorty
My little sister asked one of the staff members at Brainerd Library to save a magazine that had her favorite group, Mindless Behavior, in it. The young lady told her that she could have the magazine in December. Do you know the staff member gave her a magazine – still in the package – today??
So, to the staff of Brainerd Library…You Rock!

Dr. Carol Adams Speaks on History, Dr. Margaret Burroughs and Good Things Happening at DuSable Museum
October 13th, 2011 by Shorty
Dr. Carol Adams, President & CEO of DuSable Museum
I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Carol Adams, President & CEO of DuSable Museum of African American History. It is usually the interviewer’s role to make the interviewee comfortable and ready for the interview. Can I just say that Dr. Adams calmed my nerves for this interview? First of all, I was excited she said yes. And secondly, I was concerned about a couple of my questions, but she helped smoothed that over, too.
Anyway, listen to my interview with Dr. Carol Adams to learn about the history of DuSable, Dr. Margaret Burrough’s legacy and their community engagement. Check out DuSable Museum’s website at www.dusablemuseum.org, like their Facebook Page, and follow them on Twitter. Be sure to become a member to help support the continued growth of the museum.
