The Counselor

For many years I prepared the Counselor for TACMO "our library associational organization." I have samples of everything I wrote while at the Sunday School Board, except the Counselor. If any of you have some of these, I would really appreciate it...

Friend Rita, thanks for the reply. I agree we are all friends here. What I don't understand is regestering with another member as a friend. What is the reason behind this? So far, Eva Nell is the only one to befriended me. She has always been frie...

Rita Kirkland replied to the discussion 'Making a request for financing'

State your needs and back it up with statistics. Show by actual church numbers the amount of materials needed by each age group and how much each item costs, not bargain, but actual costs. Then, you can work your magic by getting as many good deal...

Buford, you do too know what a friend is. You are a friend if you take time to help and pray for and care about others. You are a friend of ours because we share library goals with each other.

The Counselor

Using Social Media to Make the Case for Supporting Library Services

I came across this Webinar on the Web Junction web page.

http://evanced.info/webjunction/evanced/eventsignup.asp?ID=1623

I don't know if this would be of interest to us or not. I don't think there is any cost. It is scheduled for 11/19/2009 at 1:00 p.m. est. It will probably be available as an archive.

From the About Us Web Junction page:

Our vision is to be the place where the worldwide library profession gathers… Continue

Fiction Call Numbers

There seems to be more and more books on our shelves by popular prolific authors that produce serials. The latest suggestion by our leaders is to add an extra line to the call number to identify the serial name and number. I've followed this suggestion (mostly.)

Request your ideas for Adult Winter Reading Theme: "Savor a Good Book"

The Bradley Baptist (Cleveland, TN) Library organization is sponsoring a winter adult reading program. This year's theme is "Savor a Good Book" with the theme scripture: Matthew 5:13a, "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?"

Our idea is to decorate the display window with a kitchen theme including salt, pots, soup bowls, wooden spoons, measuring spoons, spices, dish towels, aprons, etc. For signing up to participate in the reading prog… Continue
