i love Pinterst but find it very addicting!  Hoping to have more time and be familiar enought to do a site for our library.  :)
It is true a picture is worth a thousand words.....it will be a very useful tool.

why do I like this?  I was actually looking for a photo of a dog with someone reading as I love to curl up with a good book with my dog curled up (across) my feet.  This photo was extra special with the horse and his ears perked up in companionship with the reader...note she is petting his nose while she reads.

I have looked at and used the Vision site often....HOWEVER...it continues to amaze me!
I have created a list in My Vision and have discovered that many, many readers have lists and are writing wonderful and interesting reviews on books!
Each exercise we learn we discover the world is smaller and we share many likes together.  it is like "food" for the mind.

Maybe you can teach an old gal new tricks!  Re-signed up on Twitter...something i haven't used for a long time.
I think it is going to be very interesting....didn't know who to "follow" yet as haven't really had a lot of time to search.  I picked Canadian Geographic as my "hero" famous artist Robert Bateman was the keynote speaker at their big gala award presentation held recently.  So proud and inspired by his career.  Also saw an ad for a cruise with Mr Bateman which is only around $10,000 each. I guess i will have to start buying lottery tickets!
The grade five students at our local school are being treated to free 8 week art lessons courtesy of funding from Paint the Heartland Fine Art Show & Sale.  We have done this for about 13 years now.  It is a fundraiser and project of my library Board of Directors and other dedicated volunteers.  It is designed to broaden the artistic and cultural minds of our young people.

Well.. this is something I didn't expect to do!  I have not followed too many blogs but the one I did I found very interesting.
January at the library used to be a catch up month.  however, that is no longer the case.  We work harder and harder to keep up with the information highway where we direct traffic, offer "maps" and continue to keep our patrons updated on EVERYTHING every single day.
it is an awesome responsibility and I am honored to be part of it.
We are getting ready for a new project with our town, the recreation department and the Wellness and inclusive communities. 
it seems daunting at first to get everything lined up but it will be worth it when it all comes together....it may even get us through the rest of the winter.
the program is called SMART goals and i will be writing more about it....
