Oklahoma Library Association Conference

At this moment, I'm blogging to you all from the 2008 Oklahoma Library Association conference in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We're learning a lot of great new things that we can bring back to Perry and implement at the library. Personally, I am taking a number of different seminars concerning public libraries, as well as a couple of classes outside my normal "comfort zone" so that I can be well-rounded. For example, I'm about to go learn how to implement gaming programs at my library.

I hope everyone is having a great April!
