Learning 2.0- week 1

The most difficult part of participating in the Learning 2.0 program (for me) will be finding the time and making the commitment to do the work. I tried the Charlotte Mecklenberg 2.0 program, but never made it past week 3. Ditto with the California School Library 2.0 program. (Although the California program did teach me how to put an avatar on my blog.) Hopefully, the third time (and SPPL) will be the charm and I'll finally be able to complete the program.

What's a Library Slayer?

When I was sent to the library branch where I currently work, my initial reaction was "They are sending me to the hellmouth of the library system!" After explaining to my ever supportive spouse and family that a hellmouth is where the demons and vampires of the underworld ascend to upper earth to terrorize the decent, law abiding citizens of St Paul --I mean Sunnydale--they innocently asked "Does that mean you're a Library Slayer?" While I don't like the idea of slaying libraries (or librarians) I do like the idea of being a kick-a** babe who can put unruly, foul-mouthed patrons--I mean, demons--in their place. Thus, the name, The Library Slayer.
