Farewell Festivities

Well, Abe and I had a very successful going away party yesterday. The party was great and there is no other way I would've wanted to exit Florida - party on the beach during the day and walk up to Jackie's as the sun was setting to do a little BBQing. We had lots of fun and most of our friends turned up to wish us well. Ika (our puppy) had her first beach experience and she loved it! She's a very good swimmer and she had fun eating the sand and playing with all the other dogs. We're going to miss Florida and certainly all our friends here, but it was nice to be together with all of them one last time before we leave. Thanks Jackie, for throwing a GREAT party for us (as Stewie would say)!

Blogs and Libraries

I think this is a fabulous concept! It's a great way to spread news about what your library is doing and a great way to interact with patrons. I'd like to see more library blogs foster a better commenting environment and encourage it more, but I'm not sure I have the answers on how to do that. I think blogs can be used effectively in all departments of the library - reference, youth services, adult programming, readers advisory, new materials, new library policies, genealogy, business, health, etc. Lets get blogging in our library (which I guess is what we're doing - yay!).

Crazy Bloggin Lady

The beginning...of my blog. I have no idea what to say.

Oh, I have an assignment - that helps!

7 1/2 habbits of highly successful lifelong learners - good stuff. Keep on learning! Very important!
