We were lucky to speak with Paul Justy, author and Grafton railroad expert.  Paul has been a part of the local railroad preservation group for many years, a group which has worked hard to save the historic railroad tower and share knowledge of Grafton's history with everyone.  A lifelong resident of Grafton, Paul's interest in the railroad started when he was a child, exploring and learning early on about the industry.  Also, Paul and Chris Smith are authors of the book, "The Lost Quarry Industry of Indian Hollow and Willow Park - Grafton, Ohio" which you can borrow from the Library if you'd like to learn more about the quarry industry in the area, made possible by the railroads themselves.  Thank you again to Paul Justy for taking the time and sharing his passion for the history of our community. For more information, images, and documents related to the railroad history of our community, visit the Grafton-Midview Public Library's collection online via Biblioboard at https://www.gmplibrary.org/localhistory.

I begin the episode by reflecting on what I learned from Dr. Ashley White on Responsive Eating and how I've named my hunger an "inner Calvin" after one of my cats, who is very food-motivated.  The rest of the episode focuses on a few different ways to practice of meditation, especially if you have a restless mind or body. For some of us being seated without moving on a cushion feels more torturous.  Breath awareness can be a great point of focus since it allows our mind to have a "place to settle."  Yoga practice can be a way to physically prepare for the stillness of meditation, or savasana, the "yoga nap" at the end of most classes.  Sometimes a mantra can help us with focusing during a meditation. My favorite is: I am here in my body, I am home. And I can repeat this many times when my mind runs off.  I mention the work of Bodyfulness by Christine Caldwell and quote from her book, which is linked here. I'm becoming allergic to the term mindfulness, because the mind can be a good master, but a terrible servant.  I also speak about the ultradian cycles that typically last 80-120 minutes for most people, and how this can affect our focus throughout the day.  Doing a slow, somatic practice, can be a meditation in itself, since meditation is about noticing and awareness. Conscious movement can allow us to release tension and then can use somatic practices to release tension before we sit for a meditation. Becoming present can occur during a walk in nature, and this can be a more active form of meditation. Or you can journal your thoughts (a form of meditation I love) so that you can release the "thought loops" that are on constant repeat in your brain.  In the future, I will record a set of different lengths of guided awareness practice with somatics and without so you can have a resource on the go to help you settle in.  My dance teacher, Beth Giles, will be speaking to me in a future episode and I'm linking her website here. Happy birthday, dear Beth! One of my coaches, Stephanie Lindloff, has wonderful guided inner journeys available on SoundCloud, which you can access here. She will be speaking on the podcast in November. Her website can be found here for more information. This podcast is sponsored by my book, Unleash, Unlearn, and Enliven. This book can be accessed via the MN Library system on Biblioboard via the Indie Author project.  I'm starting work on the audio book and just received the cover art from Natalya Kolosowsky. It is beautiful! Check out Natalya's portfolio here.  For more information on coaching opportunities with me, please set up a free 45-minute clarity and confidecne call so we can talk and see what you are looking for, and whether I may be a good fit for what you need. There is no obligation to sign up for further sessions, but this is one way I can support you and suggest resources that may be helpful to deepen your somatic wisdom. 

Today's episode is a reinforcement of the ideas of somatic practice, and building upon those with wisdom from a prominent spiritual teacher, Eckhart Tolle.  I recently reviewed some material from Tolle's A New Earth book. If you are interested in the flowering and deepening of human consciousness, you may want to check out the 10-part series that opens his podcast Eckhart Tolle: Essential Teachings.  The inner body awareness that Tolle describes is parallel to the practice of somatics.  I give a little background on the experience of meditation and my own struggles with it, but why it can be so beneficial. Fundamentally, meditation and being present are about knowing ourselves deeply, and coming to see how we are a part of the divine.  Our cultural and societal conditioning often treats us as though we are machines. But we are not machines, we are biological creatures with energetic cycles.  This episode's central message is that you have deep wisdom embodied within you.  I refer to the work of Martha Beck, who has two quirky and humorous podcasts you might enjoy, The Gathering Pod, and Bewildered.  This podcast is brought to you by my book Unleash, Unlearn, and Enliven: Seven Micro-practices to Engage Your Somatic Wisdom.  I am celebrating the fact that my book was selected by the curators of the Indie Author project, and it is now available as a part of Indie Minnesota's Biblioboard mobile and web platform. This makes it available for free to Minnesota library patrons!  If you're outside Minnesota, you can still get a very low cost eBook delivered to you directly from my website in pdf format at this link. The paperback and ePub versions are available at many online retailers, including Amazon and Bookshop.org. 

One of our guests this episode, Tami Mullins, at GMPL back in the day.   We had a small technical issue this episode. Around the 2 minute mark when Tami is discussing summer reading, Kari's microphone cuts out. It lasts until around 04:22 when we replaced the batteries. We apologize for the inconvenience!    A lot of things happen in a library, like having storytimes in an old bank vault. Or discovering a dozen donuts in the wall when renovating. Or finding an abandoned kitten during a summer reading kickoff. Or making dozens and dozens of chicken paprikash meals as part of a levy campaign. This episode features three Grafton-Midview Public Library veterans, Tami Mullins, Lauren Baldwin, and co host Fred Backstrom, chatting about what library land is really like. Harriet Spitzer spearheaded efforts to organize a free public library to serve the Grafton community in the early 1940s. In 1944, the Grafton-Midview Public Library was chartered as a school district library. The Library was housed in the Grafton School on Elm Street for decades before moving to a vacated bank building on Main Street in 1971. In 1991, a renovation expanded and updated the building. The Grafton-Midview Public Library is one of seven independent public libraries in Lorain County and serves approximately 24,000 residents in Grafton Village, Grafton Township, Eaton Township, and parts of Carlisle Township and Elyria.

The Evolution of E-Books As we all know, the advent of the ebook have had a profound impact on libraries. What started as very tentative steps with NetLibrary at the turn of the millennium – this seems like a lifetime ago! - has rapidly evolved with the integration of digital content and services in libraries. The evolution from print to online has been a rocky and complicated journey, unlike the relatively smooth transition from print to online format for journals. Much has been written and said about the challenges and opportunities resulting from the ebook. Major challenges include ownership, preservation, discovery, accessibility, licensing and acquisition models, and usability. It’s time to take a step back and look at the remarkable evolution of the ebook – where have we come from, where are we today, and most importantly, where do we want the adoption or integration of ebooks to lead us? What does this mean for the iconic role of the monograph in libraries and in particular for the success of our students and faculty? Looking back can help us better understand the odyssey of the road ahead. What are the main drivers, challenges, and opportunities? Our panelists have significant and varying experiences with ebooks in libraries and they will bring us their insights and analyses. They will address various issues and challenges, guided by the questions below. Historical Perspective of eBooks: How have eBooks changed over time? What is your perspective on the evolution of the eBook? What do you like and/or don’t like? The Future of eBooks: What new developments are on the horizon? What are the latest models emerging? Will these changes meet the needs of students in higher education? What are the implications for academic libraries/students/educators? Impact: How will eBook reading impact literacy, reading, and learning in today’s world? Will this affect academic collection development? What philosophical challenges are posed as academic libraries embrace eBook collection development? Tony Horava (Moderator)- University of Ottawa, AUL Collections, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada I've been involved in Collections work for many years, and have seen remarkable transformations over the years. The challenges around ebooks, licensing, budgets, consortial strategies, new forms of knowledge and scholarly communications spring to mind. Reading in the digital age fascinates me - it is such a sea-change. The Charleston Conference is always energizing. I look forward to connecting with many people and hearing new ideas and innovative strategies on the various challenges we face. James O'Donnell - Arizona State University Libraries, University Librarian & Professor James J. O'Donnell is the University Librarian at ASU Libraries.He has published widely on the history and culture of the late antique Mediterranean world and is a recognized innovator in the application of networked information technology in higher education. In 1990, he co-founded Bryn Mawr Classical Review, the second on-line scholarly journal in the humanities ever created. In 1994, he taught an Internet-based seminar on the work of Augustine of Hippo that reached 500 students which deserves to be called the first MOOC. He has served as a Director, as Vice President for Publications, and as President of the American Philological Association; he has also served as a Councillor of the Medieval Academy of America and has been elected a Fellow of the Medieval Academy. He serves as Chair of the Board of the American Council of Learned Societies. His edition of Augustine's *Confessions* is a standard, while his most recent books, Augustine: A New Biography, The Ruin of the Roman Empire, and Pagans bring cutting-edge scholarship to a wide audience. His work of most relevance to issues of libraries today and tomorrow may be found in his 1998 book, Avatars of the Word: From Papyrus to Cyberspace. David Durant - East Carolina University, Federal Documents and Social Sciences Librarian My professional interests focus on the importance of preserving and ensuring access to legacy print collections in the digital library environment. This is an especially pressing issue in federal documents, where my institution is a member of the ASERL Collaborative Federal Documents Program, but also for broader monographic collections as well. I'm also interested in the ways in which technology is altering the ways in which we read and think, and the broader societal implications of these changes.
