The Information Activist is Getting Married

I know that I have not been posting much lately.  Besides the typical work, school, Chicago Deskset stuff, I’m getting married.  I am T minus 35 days, and I am so excited.  So I would like to take a moment to introduce to the world my lovely Fiancee.

Erika Fuhrman Molaro and I have known each for five years.  We met through friends, or the Living Room, or volleyball at Willow Creek Community Church.  She always gave me the best hugs!!!  She brightens up my day.  She was fun to talk to and be around.  We shared a common faith and world outlook.

Erika makes me want to be a better person.  She has strengths that I don’t have.  She is far kinder than I am.  She cares for those less fortunate and downtrodden.   I can go on forever about how much she means to me, but I will leave you with a few pictures and a video I made for her.

Title: Pushing it Forward: Social Justice, Civic Librarianship and Information Activism

Description: While libraries and library staff contribute to the profession and the world, we sometimes forget about our own communities.  Anthony Molaro will share his story and ideas on how libraries and librarians can create a more just world.  If knowledge is power, but inaccessible, what good is it?  It is time for us to reunite information and people.

Let’s Get Social: Social Bookmarking Presentation for DLS

I recently participated in the Let’s Get Social: Social Bookmarking Presentation for the DuPage Library System.  The slides were posted the other day, but the full audio stream is now available.  In this presentation, we discussed the use of social bookmarking, Diigo, Evernote, and Delicious.  It’s not the best presentation I have ever done, but enjoy.
