a new beginning

I'm officially the manager of Outreach as of this past Wednesday. For those not in the library biz I have essentially gained 5 more staff and 2 large buses....or as we call them here LOW = Library on Wheels. Of course it was trial by fire and I ended up going out on a stop on Saturday as those scheduled called in sick. It was a learning experience...next I get to learn to DRIVE them!! Watch out DFW motorists.
We've made great headway on the Children's Center move. Almost ready to re-open in our new temporary location. This too will be a learning experience in how to staff the new space and how the public will respond. Live and Learn.
YOU MUST READ The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown! I just finished it this morning and I'm still thinking about it. I won't give away anything good but it is full of thought-provoking insights and moments of 'could that be real?' So just read it!
