There we go.  Week 4 is completed.  I do find that most of the exercises are taking me more time than the expected amount.  If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!!  And that is how it has gone.

I have now completed Week 3.  With this task, I was a little bit more familiar with the premise of what we had to do, as I was fairly comfortable in Vision, watching other people's comments, etc.  So, I have now created a list of best reads  (although it is 10 best and I have only 1 so far - more to come later).  I am also following someone else. 
Hello, all,

Greetings from our library.  Thank goodness for cooperative staff members when things don't go as expected when tweeting!!  I have chosen those that I wish to follow, and I have tweeted.  I would like to know how to direct my tweet to another NB23 participant - could you please let me know? I am behind in my 23 things, but feel that I am getting there, slowly but surely.

Has anyone out there read The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay?  Probably everyone has; but, if not, I recommend that you do.  It is a great read.  If you have read it - how did you like the ending?  I did not love it.  Any comments?

This is so neat!  Setting up a Twitter account was not hard at all.  I can't believer that senior citizen me will be tweeting with all the other birds in no time at all.  (As you can tell, I am a corny senior citizen.)
Labels are done, I think.  We shall see. 

New Beginnings!

Where to start?

Got the word that there are 23 things to do.  Uh-oh!  How can I do this?  I began reading the instructions with much trepidation.  This, after most of the other staff in our library have already gotten right into it.  I do not have a huge understanding of any things social media!!

When I began working here, bear in mind that we signed out books by a machine that took a picture of the library card, the book card and a prenumbered card.  Step by step I have come along with the changes. Aha - you can teach a well seasoned dog new tricks!  (I refuse to call myself an old dog.)

After much good advice from the other staff members, I have managed to get this show on the road.

By my calculations, this ends Things 1 and 2.  On to Thing 3.
