I feel as a supervisor, it is important to keep up with communication with your staff, your library, your system, and the library community. Keeping abreast of new trends helps anticipate your patrons' questions, requests and needs. I also feel that sharing ideas with the world-wide community is a time-saving devise which allows you to reap great rewards in promoting proven programing ideas. Blogging gives me a window to brag about my wonderful, artistic and creative staff.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7828963800446453687-4392251197623629642?l=crazyforsudoku.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Cindi Permenterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11370238894012638479noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828963800446453687.post-16510855219605384592008-05-12T09:39:00.000-07:002008-05-12T10:17:09.656-07:00My family said I was a perpetual student - always taking classes or wanting to learn something new. What I think is most important about life-long learning is that you customize it to yourself - your habits, your lifestyle, your life at the time. The hardest thing I find is trying to narrow your interests to fit in your time schedule.<br /><br />I've developed life-long interests in sudoku, gardening, and scrapbooking. They also have the added side benefit of helping deal with stress<em>. Yes, I find sudoku relaxing</em>. I like solving problems and puzzles, picturing the finished product/solution. This carries through with my gardening and scrapbooking.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7828963800446453687-1651085521960538459?l=crazyforsudoku.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Cindi Permenterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11370238894012638479noreply@blogger.com1
