  *   Understand and apply a wide variety of brainstorming techniques to be used individually, in meetings, with groups and more, for immediate results

A Note from the Executive Director

[http://neo-rls.org/photos/50177_03042019090623.jpg]I sat down to write about problem-solving techniques today but before I started I picked up the May 2019 Library Journal.  It opened right up to an article titled, “The World Spins.”  I couldn’t resist, especially since the bolded headings were “Follow Your Heart,” “Sparking Joy,” and “Calling All Friends.”  Whatever it was about, I decided I had to read it!  After reading it, I decided I had to share it with you!  As you know, I routinely visit libraries as part of my job and I also visit libraries when I travel.  The article was about an online resource, Library Planet <https://libraryplanet.net/> (libraryplanet.net), which was created by two people working in two different libraries in Denmark, and self-describes as “A crowdsourced travel guide for libraries.”  What a great idea!  It turns out that lots of people like to visit libraries and the creators decided to create a Lonely Planet guide for those that want to share their experiences.  There are stories of libraries from all over the world on the site as well as a map of all the libraries represented.  You can contribute your story by following the instructions on the site.  If you want to be inspired by the world of libraries, go online and see what has inspired others.  Happy travels!

Working as a Team at the Circulation Desk
Don't miss this year's ever popular Day for Circ Staff:
It's All About Myers-Briggs and Working as a Team

The morning will start with Understanding Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type.
Learning Objectives:

  *   Learn about what the Myers Briggs Type Indicator measures (and does not measure) and how it is related to your personality preferences
  *   Understand how you can utilize the unique skills in your work dynamics effectively, from problem-solving to communication to leadership development
  *   Be provided with practical strategies for working more productively with others of different and diverse personality preferences
In the afternoon, we will focus specifically on communication in context to our co-workers and our community patrons.
Learning Objectives:

  *   Learn how to use our strengths to communicate our needs and perspectives successfully
  *   Explore how we can reach and appreciate other diverse communication styles
We will then hone our skills even more by looking at one of the most significant and important elements of communication, namely nonverbal communication.
Learning Objectives:

  *   Explore where body language comes from, why it is important and how it affects us and others
  *   Discover ways to utilize nonverbal cues to communicate your message clearly in context to a variety of scenarios circ staff may encounter
