DOK

I was browsing Library Journal articles (cause that's what I do at 7am) and I stumbled onto an article about the DOK library concept center in Delft, a place where I visited as part of my Netherlands Exploration Seminar/Dutch Designs Program with the Information School at UW. The article (found here) is about Erik, Jaap, and Geert and about the incredible work they have been doing over there and how they have changed the way a library operates, both conceptually and functionally. Because of their work they were awarded the honor of 2009 Movers and Shakers.

Reading this article made me nostalgic because I think about all that I did while I was there, riding my bike, Suzzette, on the Tour de France routes, going to library lectures, touring beautiful and innovative library centers, swimming in the North Sea, even plucking a bike key out of a murky canal using only a piece of thread and a magnet (see my other blog). But most importantly, it reminded me of the wonderful people I met while I was there.
