My experiences attending PLMI

I found attending the  Public Library Management Institute to be an enjoyable experience. There were days I stressed out because some of our attendees seemed to have more knowledge than I did, then I remembered that's why I'm here, to learn.

I didn't meet one person who wasn't super nice and friendly, this included the people in our class and the staff at the Fall Creek Falls Inn. Everyone was always willing to help in any way they could which is just another example of teamwork. The ones who knew skills like blogging were willing to help out the ones who needed a little help, like myself, who had never done a blog. A lady on the staff of the inn was very gracious to unlock a bathrrom door that had accidently been locked during the night so a certain person could take a shower and get ready for class that day. Yeah, it was me.

I hope everyone enjoyed their stay and doesn't get discouraged. I know we can do it , just remember the little caboose saying, I think I can, I think I can.

  1. I hope I can, even though I got lost coming back home, but that's right you already know that.
    I can't wait to take my family but to Fall
    Creek Falls. Thank you for encouraging me.

  2. The experience was enjoyable for me as well. I wasn't so sure at first, but it all turned out fine. The first couple of days were stressful for me. But, like you, with the encouragement of our classmates and the instruction from Heather, that soon subsided. I hope each of us can experience some successes right away to inspire us for the great challenges ahead.
