It Has Been a Long Time. . .

I haven't posted to this site in far too long! Eee gads -- it is getting stale. Actually I went off on a tangent since I was having fun with this and created Annzbooks to keep track of what I've been reading. However, I recently discovered the joy of shelfari.com (here is a link to my shelf http://www.shelfari.com/o1518125774) and decided it was much easier to keep track there. I especially love the feature that allows you to create a shelf for what you want to read. I'm sure my shelves will be filling up soon, but right now they are rather bare since I am a newbie.



I have completed all of the 8N08 assignments so far and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience! I already had been a user of Pandora, I'm still not real sure I totally get the rollyo stuff. I did create one based on wine bars in Ohio. The image generators are fun, but I'm not nearly as addicted as Kym. Checkout the tombstone for my book blog :) I have also played in webjunction a bit and have found some helpful information, but it seems rather slow (could be the time of day) and difficult to manipulate.


Lastly, my staff has a busy week ahead since we are off the road the week of Memorial Day so we can pull everything off the shelves, do a major cleaning and reload with fresh materials. One new high tech task I managed to accomplish yesterday was to update the Bookmobile Google Map to show our Summer Schedule. We always add a few additional stops earlier in the day. This year our extra stops include: Westfield Center on the Circle, Cloverleaf Middle School, Montville Lakes, Honeystone Circle, Union Square and Heritage School. It is hard to believe it is almost Summer Reading Celebration time already and there is always so much to do to get ready. On that note, I'd better get back to work!
