For this year's TASL conference I was pumped about the theme "The Future is Now! I knew that I would learn about the latest tech tools, apps, and websites. But what I didn't know was that there was a thread in the conference theme that addressed the future and the need for Cultural Literacy. The two keynote speakers brought in the theme of Cultural Literacy.

Libraries of the Future are being realized.
This week I toured a new completely digital branch of the public library in my county. The staff were helpful and discussed all of the features of the new branch. This location is a great place to work and have meetings. I hope we see these technology-rich branches pop up more and more in the near future.

We are a work in Progress!
We are working on a new way of organizing books in The Webb School Library! We have organized the books into genre categories. Many of our patrons have asked for books in specific genre categories and now we will be able to serve patrons better in this way. Right now this is a work in progress so please bear with us as we organize using this new method.

An anatomy teacher at my school wanted her students to do some research on muscle building, supplements and their effects, strength vs size of muscles.
We met and created a simple pathfinder with appropriate databases for students to answer the questions the teacher posed.
