... LaRue's Views

Welcome

I am a librarian, author, speaker, facilitator, musician, actor, and poet. This site is my way of keeping track of some of my activities and interests.

Most of the things here, unless otherwise noted, were written, and are copyrighted, by me. I don't mind if you link to or quote them, just don't blame them on anybody else.

I kneel to a field

What's here

Under Main Menu, you'll find a short biography and picture of me, then a link to my book, The New Inquisition: Understanding and Managing Intellectual Freedom Challenges. I also have a link to myliblog, "my (mostly) library-related blog." Talks - Current offers the topics I present on lately (although I'm always up for something new!), and some testimonials. Talks - Archive is a collection of some of the presentations I have given in the past (often very recent past), and whose source material has been requested. Finally, I tell you how to contact me.

I have been writing weekly Newspapers Columns since 1987 (for the Greeley Tribune) and from 1990-2012 (for Douglas County papers), the latter of which which I have collected at LaRue's Views.

Under Family and Friends I link to my daughter's blog (which she writes with her friend) (see also my daughter's Tumblr account); a collection of Douglas County, Colorado links; some family history; my favorite local independent bookstore; and a luminous little treatise by a friend and colleague of mine who took a year off to study an issue her church was grappling with.

Thanks for visiting.
