Favorite Library:: my library!

Technologies You Enjoy:: my iPod, iPhoto, my iBook (are you seeing a trend here...), my Canon PowerShot, OCLC Dewey Cutter Program for your desktop , blogging, MS Word in Office 2007, double-stick tape (it's like gold here in the children's room).

About Me:: Hi! I've been the head of children's services at a library in southeastern MA for about a year now. This is my first job out of library school and my first position with supervisor responsibilities. I wear a lot of hats in the children's room and we never have a dull moment. One of the main issues in our community and in our library is the technology gap! Many of our patrons AND our staff do not have access to technology and/or struggle with tech. issues. But we are trying. Btw- my profile pic is our library hamster, Scooter!
