Erik, Geert and Jaap! Thank you so much for coming to our LIS 753 class and sharing your library with us. It was exciting to hear about the things you are implementing and doing. I enjoyed participating in the “Future of Libraries” bottle game and look forward to seeing the footage online. I hope the rest of your tour goes well and will read about your progress on your blog.

Hey guys, doing great as I can read it. Erik, have you not tried the good old medicine I took back in Ireland when we had that, well, what they called fish and chips in Ballyshannon (if my memory serves me well) and we described as “greasy salty nondercript stuff”. Anyway, my stomach fell apart but the good old “hot whiskey” helped a lot.
It is great to see that you can really reach out to people over there and truly share ideas and visions, and to see how welcome you are warms my heart and shows that we in Europe have some ideas about the United States that need to be corrected!
My personal excuses for now. It is obvious that you recieve openminded warm people. Great. Keep having fun, take care and keep me posted. AND BRING BACK THAT GUITAR. The thought of leaving a guitar behind………..
Can’t anyone over there help Erik.

Hi you bunch. As I remembered, good old Billy Bragg once said that being a libary member in the US was an act of communism. Nowadays it seems to be an act of being world citizin. Keep on showing and sharing ideas and future visions.

What a nice surprise to hear Jaap’s voice straight from the US high way. Just back from Berlin,where we visited the Berlin staatsbibliotheek, we noticed that they could use a bust from the boys of the shanachietour!
There’s still a lot to do for the LBI !!
Boys, I wish you a lot of succes, I am proud of this crew, stay healthy en please keep on telling stories.

Wat een heerlijkheid deze reis. Met jaloezie en tranen in de ogen keken collega Droog en ik naar de beeldne van wild bunch in hun witte paleis. WOW……..en auw dat we daar niet bij zijn. Geniet and tour on.

Erik, Jaap, and Geert! We had such a great few hours with you here in Chicago. We wish we could kidnap you and keep you here for a few days! But the Library Bureau of Investigation never sleeps and you have a long way to go so good luck on the rest of the drive!
Erik, you were a total genius to come up with the Future of the Library Spin the Bottle game - the students loved it and we loved it!
Hope you are feeling better and joyfully travelling west in your covered wagon!
Thank you for my LBI t-shirt! I will wear it in pride!
