Sunday Salon: February 5, 2012


Family and Life:
It feels like life is flying by so quickly these days! How is it already February? I got to go book shopping last night for my library and for myself. The best part is that I had gift certificates to use up. Here's what I got for me (3 of them are for the American Library Awards Challenge):

Work:
Lots of teaching, tons of tech stuff and the most exciting thing: the installation of a 60" flat screen TV in my library. Now I can do Library Orientations and presentations via my iPad wirelessly! The library gets used for a lot of meetings as well so now they can all present this way too.

Books and Reading:
I have been reading a lot of "must reads" that I agreed to such as author and publisher requests and books that will count toward my challenges. In the first half of the year I really gear my reading to the challenges that I signed up for and then in the second half I am more of a "what am I really in the mood for today" kind of reader.

I did sign up to be a giver in the World Book Night and hope to hear that I was chosen. Deadline to be a giver is tomorrow, February 6.
