Week 5 -comment

This week's (no. 5) exercise has been most difficult for me because I've been playing catch-up on weeks 2-5 and now I am truly feeling overwhelmed.  A coworker has been a great help to me.  She showed me two ways of downloading - by searching the catalog and requesting a title, doing a limited search for E-book or going through net library.  I downloaded the e-book title "Daddy's Girl" .  I am going to try this from my home computer.  Whenever I purchase a laptop, it will be a quick access to materials.

First of all, I am behind by a few weeks.  I was a little intimidated with week 2, I got really busy at work and at home and almost gave up on this whole 23 things.  But here I am - I got this far and will try to catch up in the next few days.  

Last week was a very sad week for myself and coworkers at Monroeville Library.  Our former Director, Kathy Kennedy, died on Memorial Day.  Even though we knew of her health problems it was a shock to most of us.  She had started coming in to volunteer at our Welcome Desk on Friday afternoons and had been in about a week and a half before her death.  Kathy was always so pleasant, cheerful and non-complaining.  She was a terrific supervisor (she never liked the word boss).  She will be missed by her family, friends and colleagues.  I was looking forward to seeing her at the Welcome Desk on Fridays and this will be another great loss, because I am sure her former coworkers and Monroeville patrons would have had their day brightened by her good cheer.  We are left with fond memories.
