We were all crammed around a small room this morning but moved to a larger room later in the afternoon. The morning was full of energy but the afternoon was trying. Everyone shared their visions for the library and it was very energizing to hear how passionate people were about their work. We broke out into small groups and discussed what we expected from families and community members who entered our libraries. I was part of a group that had 2 opposite views for every answer. We then had to answer what families and community members expected from the library. It was an exercise that I had done at an ELF regional meeting a while ago, but it was still an interesting exercise to sort of stretch our mindsets.
After lunch, we moved into a room in the older courthouse building and had 4 hours of intensive lectures from our Touchpoints trainers. They went over Touchpoints techniques, child development and how we can use the techniques to empower family relationships.
Long day but looking forward to learning more tomorrow!

Turn on your microphone and talk into your phone. You can set up an email address in Blogger which will give you a unique email address to send email to that will automatically post to the blog. Open an email, type in the unique address in the "to" line, name of your blog post in the subject line, and then turn on mic and speak into your phone in the body of the email. When you send it will automatically post for you.
