100 years ago, the whole world was in a commotion over Shakespeare’s Tercentenary. People were celebrating in: Cincinnati, London, Germany, everywhere really. It was such a big deal that countries were literally arguing over who Shakespeare related to more. It seems now that 100 years have passed people are less excited by The Bard. His works are still very much prominent, but there aren’t announcements of festivals and grand celebrations as much as there were back in 1916.
Of course the anniversary will not be completely overlooked. In London, The Globe Theatre is hosting events all year long. Many of these have passed, but the best is yet to come. On the weekend of April 23 and 24, they will be hosting The Complete Walk. When they say “complete,” they mean it:
37 screens along a 2.5 mile route between Westminster and Tower Bridge will play a series of specially-made short films. At the heart of each film, some of the world’s finest actors will perform scenes from Shakespeare’s plays, shot in the place hovering in his imagination when he wrote them. (“The Complete Walk”)
Michelle McKinney, Reference/Web Services Librarian: Yes, I own a Kindle Touch and use the Kindle app on my laptop and iPhone. 
Kellie Tilton, Instructional Technologies Librarian: Yep!
Lauren Wahman, Instruction Librarian: Of course! A Kindle and an iPad Mini. 
Rachel Lewis, Technical Services Manager: Yes (Kindle Paperwhite)
Julie Robinson, Library Operations Manager: Kindle app on my iPad…super convenient. Still enjoy a “real” book in my hand, but having the library at my fingertips is very addictive!
Pam Adler, Public Services Assistant: Yes! I love my Kindle.

I have worked in libraries for almost 12 years. My first library job was as a shelver at the Lexington Public Library. After graduate school Iaccepted a full-time Instructional Services Librarian job at Berea College, where I worked for two years. My next job was as a librarian at the Clermont County Public Libraryin Amelia where I focused on Adult Services and Reference. I loved working in Clermont County but missed the academic setting, so I applied for an opening at UC Clermont’s library in 2010. After working as a Reference and Instruction Librarian here for a few years I became interested in library leadership and served as the Interim Director for 18 months. The Dean appointed me as Director in July 2015.
