Thing #23

WOW! Those weeks went by so fast and the things we learned was amazing.   I never knew there was so much out there on the computer.  I have learned so much and have tried o many new things.  I am working at bringing them into our library and using all the new  technologies out there that is available to everyone.  I do plan on using them to better myself and our hometown library.   Thank you so much for all the hard work everyone has put into this program and I will be watching for more to follow. 

Thing #22

When you live in a small town there is not much volunteer work with different companies but there is plenty of volunteer work you can do through your hometown Church and with planned activities for children.   This is basicallty all the volunteer work that I do and sometimes that can be very exhausting but yet very fulfilling knowing that you were able to help others in times of need.

Thing #21

I am not very good at promoting myself but will try.   There are two things that I really enjoy doing and that is reading and doing crafts of all kinds.   I enjoy sharing my habits so the library is a good place for me to be.  The last great experience  for me was working with my Grandson to build a large igloo of milk jugs for our summer reading program.  It was big enough to 5 children to crawl inside and they had fun doing so.   It was great joy for me to see their faces as they played in and out of it.  I love working with children here in town and they are always challenging me to do new crafts and I enjoy showing them how.

I started coming to my local library shortly after I moved here.  I love to read so what better place to go.  When I was asked if I would like to work part-time I jumpted at the chance.   I started doing kids prograqms and just loved it.  Our small town library is not very big, we live in a town of 350 people, but it is very Big in heart.   I later took over as Director 5 years ago and never realized there was so much to do but I still enjoy it very much and plan to stay here as long as they will let me. 

Thing #19

I can't believe we have almost completed the 23 Things.  This has been very interesting and mind joggling experince for me.  I was never aware of so many web links available for public use.  I now have our library on facebook, have been know to twitter, have my calendar of events on Google, and really enjoy being Linkedin with other library groups.  This has been an experience I will never forget and will continue to use even after the program is over.   Thank you for letting me be a part of this great experience.

Thing #17

I am not fur sure this is going to help me in any way.  I am not a public speaker or anything like that but it was interesting to search through.  Ity will be stored in my memory if ever needed or if can help others to use it.

Thing #18

I never knew there was so many programs on the computer.  I just used it for facebook and playing games before.  This has really opened my eyes on a whole new world out there.  I an not for sure how poscasting and such will benefit our library but all of this new knowledge will be kept aware and available if there is ever need for it.
