This post is to remind me of something to do that will both benefit the library and look good on a resume for a future (maybe local) full time library job.
I want to put together a list, a pathfinder, or even a website like my Gothic literature website compiling every author I can find who has a connection to my area. I don't know how far out I want to go with this, whether, for instance, I want just authors from the Kansas City metropolitan area or all authors from Kansas and Missouri. Nor do I know whether I want to list authors who were born here (or around here) but were raised (and/or lived) somewhere else, or vice versa. I'm leaning towards an all-encompassing list incorporating Kansas and Missouri in their entirety.
Things to include:

Things to include:
- biography
- bibliography
- links to author site
- links to free reads (if any available)
- links to library systems in the states? maybe
- links to booksellers
Any other ideas out there?
