The thought about sending reasons we love our libraries to legislators planning to cut funding is a good one--perhaps that would be an actual list that we wiki-fy (We'd have one big list instead of individual lists.) An idea for that is this list of why authors like indy bookstores: Instead, we could make it why librarians like libraries. Or, enlist PA authors. Well, keep it simple.

- The sense of humor that pervades the staff and most patrons -- we laugh together every single day. (Some of the best jokes in the world are told at SNHL)
Sorry, I do get carried away with the good points of Shaler Library. I took a Temporary job (just until one opened that I wanted in a Historical/Genealogical Society) and have stayed in this "Temporary" position for the past 25 years ... I either do not know the meaning of the word Temporary or I do love Shaler North Hills Library.

The thought about sending reasons we love our libraries to legislators planning to cut funding is a good one--perhaps that would be an actual list that we wiki-fy (We'd have one big list instead of individual lists.) An idea for that is this list of why authors like indy bookstores: Instead, we could make it why librarians like libraries. Or, enlist PA authors. Well, keep it simple.

6 Things I love about the Northern Tier Regional Library
- The wonderful staff!
- A patron's excitement when you help them find exactly what they were looking for
- Free books and movies!

I could go on about the niceties of my library but I would like to see this wiki take a slightly different direction!
(The big picture):
- They are an open portal to life-long learning.
- They offer some level of informational access to anyone who walks in through the door.
….And so, intrepid co-wikiens (if you’ll accept that word), would any one care to pick up the list from here? Hope I'm not too late with this idea!

4. The 3 Rivers Storytelling Festival – a unique contribution to our wider community (and other programming)
5. Our director’s support for continuing education and flexibility and encouragement to try new things -- Actively Moving Forward & Embracing the Future.
6. Our theme decorations and parties – our “mascot” – Rama the Camel’s monthly theme, the Garden Club’s holiday tree, our pumpkin decorating at Halloween, and other causes for celebration – such as Steelers, Summer Reading Club, and much more… (and who makes this possible? – Staff. Looks like we’ve come full circle.)

I had forgotten that I had a pbworks account so I just needed to change my password--couldn't remember the original one. But I'm having a really good time playing with all of this. I generally am helping customers with these things and never took the time to actually play with them myself. This is such a great experience.

This was an easy but fun assignment. The only thing I didn't
like was the amount of time I had to wait until I was able to save
my list. There was always someone editing the page and
blocking my save. Although, I guess this was to be expected
with so many of us doing this project within a relatively short
period of time.

This really was easy! Now I'm going back to review RSS and Delicious. They are more difficult to get my mind around. Maybe redoing them in a very quiet atmosphere will help. Think working on them 5 minutes at a time (amid constant interruptions) makes them less easy to "get"?
