The #TXLchat provides a forum for Texas librarians (but not limited to Texas librarians) to create collaborative connections, share educational resources, and foster life-long learning.
#txlchat Common goals make strong relationships....no one and I mean no one messes with Band Boosters. I just came from a meeting tonight. United we stand to support our BAND.
#txlchat The Courtesy Committee or the Campus Climate Committee is crucial. It is important that all stakeholders feel valued and appreciated. Here is something I did for Custodian Appreciation Week.
#txlchat One that we may not think about as much as higher ED are the Alumni. Form an Alumni Committee to recognize and honor accomplishments of your graduates. Did you know that one of our 2017 Graduates is attending Princeton? Share good news. Invite them back to speak.
#txlchat A4 When you do something unexpected or out of your way...it can come back to you. I recently helped a teacher check out items for her children for a long car trip. She surprised me with a sweet FB post thanking me. More people know about our playaway collection.
#txlchat Recognize and applaud your peers. My mentors have shared so much. I like to give back by nominating them for awards and accolades. Recently I celebrated two fellow librarians at a gala event. I'm still smiling.
#txlchat A5 My father was a business man. He taught me your most important investment will always be your loyal employees. In this case-my most valued resource are the people I count on daily to be my support.
#txlchat A5 with the good -we sometimes encounter the not so good. Don't give up when others let you down. Keep searching for the right connections. Surround your self with lightning bugs and glow worms.
