Happy Spring

How Full Is Your Bucket?

If your interested in filling your bucket and others you can check out this site and take the interview. Tom Rath and Donald O. Clifton, Ph. D. have filled a book with positive strategies for work and life. I do believe that I am an encouraging person (mostly due to Nancy B.'s comments, thanks!) but I would generally not choose to read this book if it were not for LATI. http://www.bucketbook.com/content/default.aspx?ci=12142

Beautiful Day Outside...

It's a beautiful day outside; what are all of these people doing in the library? I have completed on-line Customer Service Training, not to be confused with CCPL's Pro-active Customer Service Training. I'd have to agree with Melanie F. about the limited time spent and the quick clicking of answers. I do hope that I give excellent service to 100 people more often then my final score inplies.

Spring is Peeping

The chicks have arrived and Nate is caring for them. Twelve little beauties.

Mystery Shopping

A new assignment for LATI involves Mystery Shopping. I believe customer service has gone by the wayside in most stores which is why I love places were I know or have met the owner. My favorite nursery is Season's Past Farm in Littestown, PA. Last summer when I bought this yucca my family and friends said "A YUCCA?!?" This variegated one has been beautiful all winter long. It's not my grandmothers Yucca plant!

Happenings

I'm really looking forward to spring and bleeding hearts in the garden. We started the spring season in our children's department and I'm much happier reading mud and sun stories rather than cold and snowy. In preparation for Catching the Reading Bug our branch ordered a butterfly habitat. Much to our surprise the caterpillars have arrived! They're out on display and the children have enjoyed watching them crochet a house around themselves.
