Regina, Joni, and Jennifer joined me in last week at a conference sponsored by PLA and the Gates Foundation called Turning the Page: Building your Library Community. It was full of useful sessions on how to become a better advocate for the library.
The opening speaker was Kevin Carroll, who spoke of his Red Rubber Ball. Unfortunately, we were unable to get down in time to hear him. But his book "talks about finding your passion, whatever that is, and finding a way to turn that into your life. For many of us looking for our passion, this book serves as a reminder to never give up, no matter how silly it might seem to others. Don't take your ball and go home...Find it and play with it as much as you can!" (the book is on order for our libraries) Kevin also lists some of his favorite books at his web site. What do you think about resigning from your job as an adult?
Lots to think about and we will come back to this as we develop our "library story". The important thing to remember is that we do great things every day and touch people's lives in ways we may not even be aware of.
Thank You
