Hey Friends!

Just taking a few minutes to let you all know that our Summer Reading Program (SRP) is going very well. As usual, I got to do my renowned magic show at our branches and had record attendance. This year’s theme for summer reading is Libraries Rock!, which is pretty cool!

It’s not as cool as the year we had superheroes in my opinion, but most of you know I’m a little obsessed biased when it comes to superhero stuff. Right?

If you haven’t seen it, Thor: Ragnarok is fantastic.

However, we do have some super-charged prizes for summer reading. Sure, there’s cool things like guitars and stuff, but an Asus Chromebook? A Mini Super Nintendo? Samsung tablet? Go Pro? We got the good stuff this year!

Summer reading aside, I’ve had my hands full with school. I was looking at what class to take during the summer and a class on Social Media Marketing and Networking popped up that caught my attention. Well, it isn’t offered in the Fall or Spring, so I’d have to take it now…I do my own social media, so it wouldn’t hurt to learn things and up my social media…

So good news! I’m learning alot.

Bad news! ALL THE ASSIGNMENTS ALL THE TIME. You kinda forget how compressed a 5 week class is until you’re approaching week 5.

I wouldn’t call myself a social media guru yet, but I’m feeling like I know a great deal more than I did a few weeks ago.

Me learning the social media secret formula for success.

Alright, time to get back into my finals/papers/group projects. I’ll be finishing up next week, so I’ll have a post-class update to follow! In the meantime, I’ll be working to keep my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram updated with stuff when I have a free moment here and there.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
