It's like scanning the morning newspaper. One feed that will be useful for library programing is the Library Internet Index. Right away I found something from Family Fun on Valentine programming.<br />( http://familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts/season/minisite/valentines-main-ms/)<br /><br />One for personal (as well as work use) I'm enthused about is: (<span style="font-weight: bold;">Full Text!!)</span><br /><a href="http://www.bartleby.com/252/">History of the Civil War, 1861-1865</a> <a href="http://www.lii.org/cs/lii/view/item/7700?x-t=lii.detail.view&x-layout=blank" title="view more info" target="_blank"><img src="http://lii.org/images/icon_lii_mag.gif" alt="view more info" /></a> <a href="http://lii.org/cs/blank/create/comp?x-lid=item/7700&amp;x-r=zcomp&x-layout=blank" title="comment" target="_blank"><img src="http://lii.org/images/icon_lii_discuss.gif" alt="comment" /></a> <a href="http://lii.org/cs/blank/create/friend?x-layout=blank&amp;amp;table=item&record=7700&amp;title=History+of+the+Civil+War%2C+1861-1865" title="email item" target="_blank"><img src="http://lii.org/images/icon_lii_email.gif" alt="email item" /></a><br /><span class="mainPanel"> The full text of the 1918 Pulitzer Prize-winning book by historian James Ford Rhodes. This "chronicle of the War Between the States both provides the general reader with a clearly written description of the events of four bloody years as well as reveals the self-educated author's belief in the war's cause as the evil of slavery." </span><br /><span class="addToLii">URL: <a href="http://www.bartleby.com/252/">http://www.bartleby.com/252/</a></span><br /> <span class="addToLii">Added to LII: 2001-06-10</span> <br /><br />Can't wait to show this to my husband.

This day, posted August 4, 2007, the bibliomula made a stop for 23 children. The children checkbooks and "librarians" read to the children. They also bring along laptops. With the gas situation so bad, maybe FCPL could try this method instead of the bookmobile!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8480638116007816725-6993979703122708971?l=peaceoutclare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06658372835392005593noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480638116007816725.post-31885982739782796432007-08-02T17:32:00.000-07:002007-08-02T17:36:15.878-07:00I like the self scanning technology used at the grocery stores. The one at Weis Market on Old Camp Road is one of the best in Frederick. I'm in and out of there in no time, even with a full cart. However, I can't say the same for the Home Depot on Route 40. The light above is always flashing and the automated voice is always yakking about something!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8480638116007816725-3188598273978279643?l=peaceoutclare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06658372835392005593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480638116007816725.post-3451266598782926272007-08-02T16:50:00.000-07:002007-08-02T16:59:21.872-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/11/12380992_01dc922c57.jpg?v=0"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 284px; height: 284px;" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/11/12380992_01dc922c57.jpg?v=0" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Such detail!

Teaching goes on every work day at the library with something as small as showing a patron how to get to the catalogue online and search for books. When I'm not at the library, I work for Frederick County Adult Ed as a tutor for adults studying for their high school diploma. I would say the hardest step for me is to take the time to set goals.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8480638116007816725-8618172515977051691?l=peaceoutclare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06658372835392005593noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480638116007816725.post-9099090618504953282007-06-28T14:59:00.000-07:002007-06-28T15:02:12.210-07:00<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8480638116007816725-909909061850495328?l=peaceoutclare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06658372835392005593noreply@blogger.com1
