I'm Back!

To all of you who are willing to sit through and read my blog, I apologize! Life just got caught up with me and I am been like a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. ( I just love that expression!). One of the things I have been doing is working my part time job. And that is what has brought me back ot my blog. We need your help. We have an awesome bibliography and a wonderful schedule of workshops but no one, I mean no ONE, is coming. What do you think we can do to get the word out? I am sure part of it is staff dev. monies have dried up. To combat that we offered free workshops. Still we are having a hard time getting the word out. Is no one interested in multicultural items??? Please let us know. You can follow us on facebook or on twitter!

Twittering @ your library

I love talking to you all through this blog! I read or watch some cool thing and then I get to discuss it with all of you at the same time! Love technology. Ok, here's what I heard today. This tv star said her child's kindergarten teacher twitters all the parents! She tells them what the kids did that day so the parents can have these great conversations with their kids. I am so impressed with this concept, I can hardly stand it, partly as a parent and of course, partly because I see the library application screaming out at me! When my kids were small I did not want to have these really dumb exchanges with them. Here's an example. Hey, Bud, did you have a good day? Yep. What did you do? Nothin. And so on and so forth. So as we were driving home from the sitter's house, both my kids had to be ready to tell me one great thing and one not so great thing that happened at school. It was our routine. I promise you we had great conversations! But oh, if I had had a twitter starter for those conversations!!!! Very cool. So here's my question for you, do you twitter the happenings in your library???? Do you twitter what you are reading aloud to kids??? You get 140 characters in one twitter. That is enough to get a great book summary across. Speaking of book summaries, what about getting the kids to write potential twitters about books they have read????? Cute ppt idea. Oh, my, I am getting too excited now. I did twitter my book title today based on my blog topic here. Write me back and tell me a twitter story!
