Sunflowers are my favorite!! 

Tio is enjoying himself at the library. He really likes people. 

I hope I don't get towed. I am anchored in an one hour parking spot :-) 

SPLMI 2005

Last week I attended the Small Public Library Management Institute in Springfield. It was a week filled with learning and fun. I met alot of neat people and learned more about libraries. My mom told me she would be disapointed if I came home without pictures so I took 63 during the week. Here are just a few to share with everyone.

Everyday I had classes to attend to learn more about library management. 

Here I am with the Lincoln Family.  

We ate all the time! Here we are eating at the Illinois State Library. I guess they don't have the no food rule :-) 

Here 4 of the 5 libraians from Lincoln Trails who went to Springfield last week. We had fun getting to know each other. 

On our last night, we ate dinner at the Executive Mansion. It was very nice. 

The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum is a neat place for all ages.  

Here is a picture of the old book drop. You can put your finger through the front left corner.I think that means its time for a new one! 

Here is a picture of the boys handy work. Hopefully this weekend I will have pictures of the new book drop installed. Thanks again Dad and J.C. for all of your hard work. 

They ran out of concrete mix so I had to drive to Rural King to get some more! 

I'm glad J.C. stayed to help. 

Tony and Electra came by the library to check out the work.  

These 2 great guys poured the concrete for the new library book drop. They spent their day off volunteering to help install the new pad.
