Fall workshop


I'm currently in the lobby of the Yogo Inn at Lewistown, taking a break from library classes.

.
The library here in Lewistown is quiet old and very beautiful. The picture to the right is from the Lewistown Public Library web page. I just heard that this great library has suffered a huge budge cut. It is so hard to manage a library in Montana where money can be very hard to come by. I feel very fortunate that Jefferson County is doing okay money wise this year.
My next class is about econtent and libraries such as downloadable audio books. The State Library is looking in to a state-wide contrance with an e-book company to provide downloadable books for Montana libraries. The State Library is really most excellent! Off I go to learn more stuff so I can better serve my library patrons!

I am sitting in the Web 2.0 class at the Fall Workshop in Lewistown, learning about blogs, Myspace and other social software. If only there were only more time in the day. I just learned how it's better to do a post in Edit Html rather than compose. A lightbulb goes off.

The drive here was so beautiful and I saw hundreds of antelope and wild turkey. I wonder if you can raise wild turkeys? Hmm, maybe I should get a book!
