It’s Your Turn
Thanks to Helene Blowers, Columbus Metropolitan Library and formerly of the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, for allowing us to “borrow” her material from Learning 2.0, a blog that taught PLCMC staff members about web 2.0 tools. This model is used in libraries around the world to encourage lifelong learning among library staff.
