What a fun event! Not only did we get to visit with awesome colleagues in the library world at the beautiful Fritz Knoebel School of Hospitality Management at DU, but we had the honor of listening to Connie Willis a Science Fiction Hall of Famer! An alumna of University of Northern Colorado, she is a winner of multiple Nebula and Hugo awards Willis writes about everything from the Blitz to Toy Stores at Christmas time. From her description of her early love with books while reading Wizard of Oz stories, and Anne of Green Gables, Willis explained how research can be found anywhere, even at a Starbucks. She talked about how she went through the Titanic Hearings and every book on the Battle of Dunkirk. Her insight on the topics is immeasurable. Willis stated that, “…writing keeps me from killing people.” She had some great recommendations; The year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion, History Boys and the Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett and a BBC series, Primevil. I have already requested several of her books and her recommendations from the library. So far, my six year old son likes Primevil, but we have only seen two episodes. Looking forward to next year’s Colleague Connection.
