Check us out on Facebook. We Librarians 2.0 have to continue to move forward in spite of:
- budget cuts
- reduction of staff
- reduction of hours open to the public
- increase in patrons needing extensive assistance with the new eGov dashboard and accessing services like Social Security, Medicare, Food Stamps (Lone Star), Child Support, etc.....
- the fast pace of technological advances
- retaining current patrons and enticing new patrons and the younger audiences who know electronic devices better than paper and ink
Reminds me of Boudreaux and Thibodeaux:
Boudreaux and Thibodeaux went hunting and got lost in the woods.
When Boudreaux began lamenting their fate, Thibodeaux said, "You know, I heard that the best thing to do if you get lost is to fire three shots in the air." So they did that, and waited a while. When no rescue party showed up, they fired three more shots in the air. Finally, when there was still no response, Thibodeaux said, "Well, I guess we better fire three more shots." "OK, if you say so," said Boudreaux. "But somebody better come soon-- we're about out of arrows!"
