I've been in Ocean City since Tues, 5 hr. trip and am having a wonderful time. Librarians are the neatest people! Been to Teens & Technology with Michele Gorman. Loved it! This a woman very passionate about serving our teens. I have discovered new ways of reaching our youth and learned more about Virtual Worlds and the value of Gaming. Who knew that today's gamer could be tomorrow's laser surgeon! It is good to network with other librarians and step out of the box when it comes to new ideas. Also, visited with Dr. Agosto on Teens in the Library. Why do they come to the library? Information need, social/entertainment networking, and as a beneficial physical environment. Again, not only seen physical numbers in a survey by Dr. Agosto, but brainstormed with librarians across the state of MD for fresh ideas on young adults. All in all, my first MLA has been a very good learning environment.

Great fun with the Wild, Wild West this week! Thanks Spibrarian. Just want to mention that I heard Michele Gorman will be presenting workshops at SMRLA in a couple of weeks. Info is posted on our shared statewide calendar on MERLIN.
