Done, done--done at last!
God bless the makers of this blog--for their time, their skill, their knowledge, their passion, and their determination!
So many excellent things to learn and explore! So sorry that for me, blogging is like pulling teeth -- all that English major emphasis on good writing--sigh.
I've learned about blogging! How to open a blog, find a blog, write a blog entry, edit a blog entry, even how to link to other blogs.
I've learned more about genres and subgenres--most I knew, some I didn't, some I knew that weren't even on the list.
I've learned about genre websites--useful, useful.
I've learned about Early Word--now there's a site I'm glad to have as a permanent weekly email summary.
I've learned more about teen books. And have been dellighted to find that I'm not the only one who loves narrative nonfiction (that it even has a name :).
I've added to the reader's advisory skills we use here at Pikesville every day. (In fact, an additional option for bloggers who want to hone their skills would be to work at the Pikesville information desk for one or two days.)
The discipline of blogging has helped me to put into words what I knew and what I was learning. It would be fun now to go back and read other blogs to connect to other librarians. And even without typing, these assignments have given us opportunities and vocabulary to talk each other here at the branch.
Thank you, committee, for all your work and your encouraging nudging!
Karen
