Some things that we have to learn...but sometimes don't want to!

I understand that as public place we have to cater to ALL types of people and we do work very hard to do just that.  I have figured out that all of these different types of people think that their "problems" or "issues" are the only ones that need to be addressed.  I really wish that the public would understand that eventhough we are here to serve them, we are not Superheroes that can do everything that they need RIGHT NOW!  Sorry ... Vent for the day is done!

Family....The links to our past!

We all have those people in our life that make us realize that we are not the only ones out there JUST LIKE WE ARE!  They are called family.  My cousins and my brother are the people that have been there to laugh with me and cry with me, agree with me and tell me I am wrong, but most of all stand up with me.  I love them so!

The Wonderful World of Kids!

These are my kids...The heart and soul of my life!  Andrew Joel was born September 7, 2004.  It was ESPN's 25th anniversary and my husband was so happy that his son was born on such an important day.  Eva Elaine was born October 18, 2007.  She was our miracle child, born after I had had a stroke the year before and was told that I was not suppose to have any more babies.  They make us laugh and cry, smile and frown, but always remember that they are the most important people in our lives.

Final Step (Method #) 12

I can honestly say that I have learned a lot from this course.  I got to try new things (Some I really liked and some that confused me a little bit) and I got to share them with everyone I work with.  Our little library had already started using social media to try and connect with our ever fickle public.  We have started offering adult computer classes that have been hit and miss with attendance.  We have whole heartedly been trying to offer what we think the public wants and what they have actually asked for.  I hope that advancing my knowledge of the technology that is out there and available to us will help me to better serve our patrons.
I want to thank you for offering these classes and courses that we can take.  It helps us to better our minds and sometimes even our spirits knowing that we are doing all that we can to be the most helpful people we can. 
On another subject...Only one month until the last enstallment of Harry Potter comes to theaters!  I can't wait!

Beyond Step (Method #) 11 -- Survey Says!

I have never created a poll or survey until today, but I have answered a lot of them.  I think that this step could be a great tool for many of our smaller libraries that are trying to reach out through social media, websites, and the like to get feedback from our patrons.


This is the poll that I created with my SurveyGizmo account. It was really easy to do and you are able to embed it on to your Facebook page, website or even Twitter.
