Patty McClune Access PA Fall Training 2007

Yesterday I attended the Access training in our area and it was quite informative, less about VDX and lots about changes and enhancements to Power Library databases. You won't want to miss it!

I think the Get A Clue summer reading program that public libraries used during the summer will really help get more students interested in mysteries. It is good… Continue

Barbara OBrien Trends?

Just joined, and already I have an issue for discussion. Received a call from my principal asking me for feedback on trends and what the high school library will be/should be like within the next several years. The district is planning a major addition to the current high school building. I thought of several things, but would absolutely LOVE feedback. Here's my "stream of consciousness" thoughts:
