2.0 Progress?
Our little library has had a DIY online presence for
over two years and, by gum, folks are really starting to
(on purpose!) visit our blogspot/facebook to connect to us!
Today we had a compliment from a patron who appreciated
our one-click calendar being up-to-date! This would have
never been possible without the 23 things on a stick exercise,
which propelled us unto the Internet. WOO-HOOO!!

Survival Guide to the Adolescent Brain
Went to a seminar last week given by Erin Walsh, daughter of Dr. David Walsh, who wrote the best selling book, "Why Do They Act That Way? A Survival Guide to the Adolescent Brain for You and Your Teen. The SAMMIE Library cooperative hosted. We are trying to prepare ourselves to better serve teens. Libraries do a great job with little kids, but we have a ways to go with teens.
Was working in a bigger library on Saturday and had a conversation with a 12 year old who was checking out audio books. She said, "I don't have time to read a whole book, that's why I like poetry." It made me think about how much our teen and college grad children text. Texting is a lot like poems. Concise and to the point. I asked the girl if she had ever participated in a poetry slam? "What's that?"

THING 8, Sharing Creations TWITTER-style?
Ok, so back to my re-run of 23 things...
On the instruction page for Thing 8, I clicked Slide
which jumped me to the BIGWIG Social Software Wiki
where I found a presentation discussing the who, what, and wherefore of TWITTER.
Join twitter, add a presentation?
There are other twittering librarians...

OK, here goes.
