Social Bookmarking-Thing 6

Okay, this makes a lot of sense to me. I love the idea of being able to access my favorite sites from any computer. I think for the library great tags would include good books, quick reads, book report due tomorrow, short books.

This photo was taken this month when I had the chance to host Kimberly at Skokie Public Library. She is such a kind person and a wonderful writer of books for children. She is one of my favorites.

My fellow librarians, Lisa Marie Smith and Louise Barnett had a blast hanging out with one of our favorite young adult authors, Angela Johnson and her mom.

Kate DiCamillo is one of my favorite children's authors and it was a thrill to attend the awards banquet where she received her Newbery Medal for The Tale of Desperaux.

Thing 5

This one wasn't that difficult and it was fun. I can see the library using Flickr to post photos of library events.

Thing 4

I started a Facebook account a few months ago but never entered anything. Thing 4 caused me to create a profile and even upload a picture. My niece, who is a college freshman, is floored that her aunt is on Facebook. It allows us to keep in touch now that she is away at school.

Thing 3

Thing 3 proved to be a challenge for me. I had a hard time figuring out how to navigate with Google's Talk Gadget. I wish there had been more help screens. I now need to get with more of my friends and co-workers to expand my buddy list. Time to move on to Thing 4.
