PVLD Director's Blog

Pictures!

TIme is scarce this week, and they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I thought I'd share these recent photos from PVLD.

Ali has more information about the teens' trip to ALA on the PVLD Teen Blog

2.  Photos from the Dialogue art exhibit that was at Peninsula Center this weekend.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/58977274@N00/sets/72157606155484763/show/

The first was a great opportunity for PVLD's teen volunteers to represent the library and to get more insight into the worlds of libraries, books, and publishing. 

 The second was a wonderful community-building event and a testament to artist Mike Garibaldi's passion for fostering community in our public spaces.  Now we're looking for more travelling art displays to host!

 

News from the Public Library Association Conference 2008

Adult Services Assistant Manager Debra Petersen and Branch Manager Jennifer Addington attended the Public Library Association's biennial conference in Minneapolis last week and came back full of ideas and enthusiasm.

They are sharing what they learned and their thoughts on their PLA Minneapolis blog.  Check it out for some great ideas...and keep checking as there is more to come!

I think we might transform this blog into the "PVLD conference" blog as a way of sharing what we learn at the various conferences and workshops that staff attend.
