Wash Your Hands poster generator - choose your favorite song

I just found a great thing on the internet --  a poster generator for hand-washing timing.  You can put in any song and it prints out a poster showing how much you need to sing to hit the 20 second mark.

I tried  "Love Shack" B-52s , "No Woman No Cry" Bob Marley, "Put a Ring on It" Beyonce and  even the Baby Shark song, and all were perfect.  Try your own favorite song, or maybe print out a few for your family.

Five Laws of Library Science


Siyali Ramamrita Ranganathan was a mathematician and librarian from India.  In 1931 he proposed the following:

  1. Books are for use.
  2. Every reader their book.
  3. Every book its reader.
  4. Save the time of the reader.
  5. The library is a growing organism

Not being a librarian, I was unfamiliar with these.  If you are too, check out this article  on Wikipedia:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_laws_of_library_science
