EACH ONE TEACH ONE!


Tonight @ 6:40 PM, is my first mid term in eight years.
I was restless last night, I was dreaming about Boolean Search, quality vs. demand, eBooks and such.
It’s crazy! What have I become? I digress.

It’s amazing how many people come to the library only to use the computers, adults as well as children. The children insist their doing their homework; however, a nine year old regular patron asked me how to spell “wrestle mania.” Can’t imagine what class that’s for.

Today, Maia, an older petite lady, with a pleasant manner and a smile, came in to the library, and asked if I could help her set up an email address. I said, “sure, no problem.” Maia, insisted on using Gmail, so we set up her account.

I explained the basics, signing on, reading and replying. She took copious notes on the small white sheets the library provides. She had about eight of them after we finished.

I was going to show her how to compose an email, however, I figured that might be too advanced and will save that lesson for another day as she is a regular patron.

It’s 1:45 PM, 4 more hours to study.
