Happy Delayed President's Day !!!

Winsted Storytime was canceled last week due to extremely frigid temperatures. Today we will find out "Who's fine face is on a penny and Who's fine face is on a quarter?"

Thing #2

We know time is always an issue--Stephen Abram shares some ideas on where to find the time for 23 Things. Where will you find the time?

I will find the time just like any busy parent here and there plus my kids think it's cool that MOM has home work. It won't be hard to find time, because I find this all very interesting and important to our Libraries future.

Why are you participating in 23 Things On a Stick? What do you hope to learn?

I'm participating in 23 Things on a Stick for Library Certification purposes. I hope to learn more about what the Web has to offer and how I can apply the new knowledge to my home library.

How has the Internet and the vast resource it can be affected your use of time at work and/or at home?
It has been incredibly helpful with accessing different tools for developing our children's programming.

Where are you in your knowledge and use of Web 2.0 tools? How about your library?
I have limited knowledge and use of the Web 2.0 tools the same can also be said about our library. We have been working on it slowly, but this program will help tremendously.

What are you looking forward to in 23 Things On a Stick?
All of it!! I hope to learn as much as possible so I can keep up with my 10 and 7 year olds as well as help keep our Library and community up to date with the new technology and tools the Web has to offer.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day from Winsted Library!! Yesterday, we celebrated with stories, fingerplay and a messy, but beautiful craft during StoryTime. Come next Wednesday to celebrate President's Day. Find out which President's birthdays are in February with stories, a new song and a craft.


This blog is possible due to my participation in The 23 things on a stick progam for librarians in Minnesota. Thing 1 was setting up a Blog. It has been interesting and sometimes confusing setting up this blog. The more I delve into the different processes the easier it has gotten. I will be keeping you up to date on my progress as well as updating you about our children's programming.
