For my monthly podcast I reviewed the library's accomplishments in 2008. I'm a project person, and sometimes prone to being impatient. If I have an idea, I'd like to see it happen sooner rather than later. So I think I have a tendency to focus on what hasn't happened yet rather than just how much has been done.
Writing the podcast proved to be a good exercise because it forced me to remember all the good things that the library has accomplished since January. I won't repeat them here--you can listen to the podcast if you're interested--but I do want to focus on an end-of-the-year highlight that didn't make the podcast. That's our library giving tree. Instead of traditional decorations, the staff has donated mittens, hats, gloves, and scarves--all of which will be donated to area shelters to help keep people warm this winter. If you'd like to contribute to this effort, drop off your donations of new items in our Circulation Office. We'll add them to our tree, for distribution just before Christmas.
I know I'm counting as a blessing the fact that I can give to others in this way, and that library staff members have embraced this project so enthusiastically.
