December 3, 2020 at 11:09 PM An entrancing surprise during my sojourn in Northern Italy: After an early-morning ferry across Lake Garda from my hotel in Bardolino, on the eastern side, I set my sights on the lovely town of Gardone Riviera. Strolling up the hill from the waterfront, I dodged raindrops in anticipation of my visit to the André Heller Botanic Garden. The Keith Haring sculpture is one of the iconic installations among countless artworks in the garden, set amidst lavish plantings & paths enliven...

December 3, 2020 at 11:09 PM Greetings my friends, today marks the 4th Year Anniversary of Bay Area Tendrils ... It's a celebratory day, yet one that is bittersweet as I'm preparing to say farewell to my garden. Perhaps the dearth of posts has hinted at a major life change on the horizon. And so, for the second time I am parting from a garden I've nurtured from the ground up, having worked for nearly 15 years to create a sanctuary space from scratch in Northern California. The Bay Area Tendrils archives tell the...

December 3, 2020 at 11:15 PM For a VL that combines multiple queries, is there any performance issues/bad practice reasons against turning the individual queries into saved searches and combining them?
As well, what about nesting a saved search inside another saved search? It would be helpful at times. Tags: Books, Library Management31 people like this. Like

I want to dumb down my Libra H2O for an older library user not used to smart devices. What are the best things I can do?
