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.

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.
