I love hearing from my readers and I welcome their emails with cool questions, great tips, effusive compliments, and offers to speak in exotic locations with travel arranged, luxury suites, gourmet nut mixes, and a driver picking me up at the airport. (Hey! A girl can dream, right!?)

However, if you email me a question that could have been easily answered by searching this blog or by Googling "your desired topic" and "Gwyneth, Daring Librarian" I reserve the right be a little snarky and to tease you - gently. But, knowing me, I'll probably still answer it in mind-numbing detail. Or, if you include your phone number, I may just call you!
