Rogue Librarian

Old books, flea market dust, and a head cold make Carrie a very sneezy girl. They are cute little sneezes, though. Very dainty, just like I am. A powder puff, really.

My colleague Greg Kallenberg has been our greatest champion of the new NYPL style guide. He has converted all eighty-some branch pages to our new XHTML/CSS standard. And if that were not enough, he is almost finished with the Spanish version of the pages as well.

Also at NYPL, browse our Ask A Librarian for Q and A gems like this: Can you please tell me how pepperbox pistols got their name?
