We Want to Know What You Think
I’ve been managing MRRL’s blog for a couple of months now. Just getting staff used to the idea and getting them excited about it. With the New Year came the “official” kick off of the blog. There are now other contributes on a regular basis and an “official” calender of when posts are sent to publish 
Robin has even got the blog showing up on the Library’s front page. All in all some very exciting things are happening!
We started something today I think tops all of them. Our “We Want to Know What You Think” question! Each month the Director will provide a question we’d like feedback from the public on. As a public library we’re always looking for feedback from our patrons, this is a great way to get focused specific feedback on the questions we’re wondering about!
Library Learning 2.1 Kicks Off!
Today kicks off our second week of Library Learning 2.1. Robin already wrote a great post about our kick off week, so I wont duplicate it by writing one here. But I did get some great feed back that I want to share.
- They love the “bit size” lessons “I did the first lesson – short and sweet. Perfect!”
- They’re thrilled that these lessons can also be used by patrons. If they get questions about any of the topics they have a resource they can point them to.
- They are just exited to be learning! “Sounds interesting. I’m looking forward to what you and Robin come up with this year. “
Tell Us How Great We Are
I noticed this little message at the top of my Gmail account tonight
“Share your Gmail story” I use a lot of Gmail and Google tools so I clicked on the link to see what what up and got this screen.
Seriously how great is this idea? Tell us how great we are and post the video on YouTube for everyone to see!
I am so stealing this idea for my library!
