I'm Back!!

On the road again...
After years of publishing on other blogs and websites, I'm back to writing my own. Here you'll find my thoughts on leadership, tips and tricks for busy librarians, and other ideas for implementing in your program. Find out what books I'm loving. Since I'll still be traveling a good bit, I'll probably post some travel tips as well. I'm excited about my next chapter. I hope you'll come along for the journey.

The Shoe that Didn't Drop

I suppose I've read too many YA novels. Teen angst. Murder. Betrayal. Lies. Or maybe I've been watching too much TV. Yesterday I finished Secret Sisters of the Salty Sea by Lynne Rae Perkins.

I was supposed to be in Rhode Island today, talking about my favorite books for 2019. I decided I would go online and talk. (I'll also write a post-Live post here, just in case you miss it.) Early this morning, my brain began to connect the dots and wonder--what if? So, I slipped out of bed and went to the Boho Basement (my home office). I wanted to know if I could use my Ipevo to show parts of a book. I learned that I can use Facebook Live to share my screen, use my visual presenter and also use my webcam. I can also set it up, advertise and more. So since it's Tuesday, I thought Tissues Book Tuesday...
