As I said in my last post, there are so many things I&#8217;ll miss.<\/p>\n<p>But moving forward, there is so much that I&#8217;m SO EXCITED about! I haven&#8217;t done much reading lately because my brain won&#8217;t slow down long enough for that. I&#8217;ve been working on <a href=\"http:\/\/centralmiddle.wikispaces.com\">my new library wiki<\/a> and making plans. I know I have big shoes to fill &#8212; the retiring librarian is amazing and has done so much for CMS. I also know that I&#8217;ll be quite different. Where Marie is soft-spoken, composed, and has it together, I&#8217;m loud, spastic, and out there. But I hope to bring my strengths to help the CMS library continue to improve and serve students and teachers well. Here are the things I plan to throw myself into immediately:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Share my techno-love!<\/strong> From what I hear, many teachers are looking for new ways to infuse technology to enrich learning experiences for students. I&#8217;ll be using a <a href=\"http:\/\/centralmiddle.wikispaces.com\">wikispaces page as the library&#8217;s website<\/a> and home that exploring it will show teachers and students that using tech tools is a passion of mine so they will approach me for ideas.<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"512\" height=\"375\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowNetworking\" value=\"all\" \/><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"base\" value=\"http:\/\/static.wix.com\" \/><param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" \/><param name=\"FlashVars\" value=\"pageId=6ASXN3am4K8-a&amp;embedFormat=websites&amp;embedID=;RjUM18MhKE9x6uKyw3CelgZxZSCcmLBZH8bJTbz9r;hV6MhHE9jPwszzBu9SzBPa&amp;partner_id=WMGs4POB1ko-a\" \/><param name=\"scale\" value=\"noScale\" \/><param name=\"salign\" value=\"tl\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/static.wix.com\/client\/app.swf\" \/><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"pageId=6ASXN3am4K8-a&amp;embedFormat=websites&amp;embedID=;RjUM18MhKE9x6uKyw3CelgZxZSCcmLBZH8bJTbz9r;hV6MhHE9jPwszzBu9SzBPa&amp;partner_id=WMGs4POB1ko-a\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wix.com\"><strong>Free website<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wix.com\/create\/website\"><strong>Powered By Wix.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Move to a digital calendar. <\/strong>The library operates on a completely flex schedule, which I am so totally PSYCHED about. I&#8217;ll also be in charge of scheduling checkout for the mobile labs. This is currently done on a paper calendar that gives me anxiety and causes me to hyperventilate. I haven&#8217;t decided yet how exactly I&#8217;ll do scheduling, but I know it will be different. I&#8217;m toying with using the Novell calendar that goes with our email (not a big fan, but it&#8217;s what we have), using a Google Calendar, or putting a spreadsheet on the shared drive or Google Docs. If you or anyone you know has experience with scheduling like this, feedback would be majorly appreciated.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/calendar.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-387\" title=\"calendar\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/calendar-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/calendar-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.mightylittlelibrarian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/calendar.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6><em>CC Liscense<\/em><em> <\/em><a title=\"Attribution-ShareAlike License\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/\"><em>Some rights reserved<\/em><\/a><em> by <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/67146024@N00\/\"><em>rmkoske<\/em><\/a><\/h6>\n<p><strong>Categorize books by genre.<\/strong> I&#8217;ll be moving into a brand spankin&#8217; new library within the next year or two, and I&#8217;m seriously toying with the idea of arranging the fiction section by genre.
