The Week of PLMI

Well I am just a little late on summing up the week of PLMI, but better late than never! I thoroughly enjoyed the week of PLMI; although I was exhausted on Saturday. It was a great learning experience for me. I enjoyed meeting all the other directors and hearing and sharing stories that made me laugh so much. I also was glad to get to know Heather and Laura. It did open my eyes to a lot of things I need to improve upon for myself and the library; and it also gave me encouragement on some things that I do fairly well already. One thing I am anxious to do is have a staff meeting to share some of the things I learned and get them to do the surveys. But we have been short on staff this whole month. I will have to wait until everyone is back in place. I learned to take one day at a time. I am really trying to work on time management and being a servant leader. I haven't pulled out the pomodoro yet, but hope to this week! We have been working on spiffing up the place and that actually started while I was at PLMI. We are taking a hard look at everything as you come in the front door to all the "stuff" on the circulation desk to see what changes can be made. As I said in one of the other blogs we are raising money for a renovation. The inside will be one of the last things to be renovated, but I am looking forward to a fresh, new, clean inside of the library!
