I just want to come back to last week's Staff Development Day. I had a great deal of fun, in addition to learning something about marketing our mission. Carol Mabe has shared her summary and in the next few weeks I want to come back to that idea and see if together we can come up with a vision that we can all share and support.
Bill took some wonderful photos of the event & I have uploaded them to Flickr--think you can access them at Staff Development Day Photos. This is all a work in progress, so I am hoping for the best.
As I am fond of saying, everything I know I heard on NPR; this week is no exception. Driving into work yesterday, I listened to a piece on “National Bike to Work Week.” I was intrigued by the idea & had actually scoped out the likely route from our new home in the Brook Valley area. Walking into the building yesterday morning, I ran into Matt Reynolds carrying his helmet & other paraphernalia and he told me that he tries to ride his bike to work as much as he can. That proved the final impetus that I needed (not to mention the calorie laden lunches I have been packing in lately.)
So today was the day, with temperatures in the sixties and a cook breeze blowing, it probably could not get better. I left the house around 7:30 & except for a near death experience crossing Greenville Boulevard; my trip was pleasant & uneventful. As I turned into campus, Matt passed me & shouted what I think was encouragement. Of course, planning is everything & the devil is in the details and I don’t have a lock, so I had to stash my bicycle in the back entrance stairwell—so if you see it, don’t panic, Al Qaeda has not come to ECU—just an out of shape Library Director.
