Conference

Monday I attended a Conference for Library Trustees. Wow! What a wonderful event it was. I signed up for 4 seminars, not knowing, quite what to expect.

The first was a speaker, Marilyn Johnson, who I think was meant to energize us and make us laugh. She was quite good, and I did find her amusing.

Next we broke off into small groups for different classes. My first class was to learn who is responsible for various things within the Library and outside of the Library, but pertaining to us. The biggest thing I learned is how blessed we are in my little Town. All of our departments get along pretty well, and work together for the benefit of the Library.

My second class was Conflict Resolution. I think this was my favorite class. I found this intriguing. The man who presented the class truly knew his stuff. He went through various scenarios, that could be used at work and in your real like.

Next we broke for lunch, where I met up with two other Trustees and our Library Director, and enjoyed a light meal. They were as pleased as I was with what we were learning.

In the afternoon we had one more class. Mine was for Trustee Secretaries, Treasurers and Chairpersons. As the Library Trustee Secretary I had a lot of questions and I finally got a lot of answers! It was truly fabulous!

So it was a learning day and one I really enjoyed and I am so happy I went. In fact I can hardly wait until next year!
