Avatars

Lots of fun at the library as many of us tried making avatars. This is a new thing for most of us, so laughter reigned as we tried out the various options. Who knew some of us wanted tattoos or spiked hairdos?? The secret yearnings of colleagues are being revealed! Stay tuned.

Another technological advance.

This is a favorite photo taken in Maine in 2008 by my son Ian.

The tale of the missing phone

Charlie, the great guru from Public Works, came to the rescue. He disassembled and removed the baby changing table that had hung so nicely in the restroom, and managed to remove what was left of the wandering cell phone. I think the pieces are now in a baggie, waiting to be claimed. Wonder if this will influence the use of phones after school??

Another day in the Children's Room

Today, one of our young patrons somehow got his cell phone stuck in the changing table wall unit of the restroom. Our custodian tried to dislodge it with some of his trusty tools, but the table remains so stuck from the little device that it could require the additional help of Public Works and their assortment of master tools to rescue it....

In the meantime, the little cell phone is still "holed" up in the restroom.

23 things

About 2 years ago I attended a workshop that was really helpful in giving a good overview of Library 2.0. It made the concepts more accessible and gave me the "courage" to try my hand at a few things. I got a Facebook account just to try it out and have found that I enjoy it a lot. Since then I've made baby steps in exploring new technologies ; this "23 things" came at just the right time.

Thanks and keep the "things" coming!

Breaking news!

This is pretty exciting! I feel like I have joined the modern world!
