Fall 2007 workshop




The fall 2007 Library Assistant workshop was held on Friday, October 25th. This is a unique workshop. This workshop is run by support staff for support staff. 54 people from 22 different library were in attendance. Two different topics were covered at this meeting. A presentation was done by Wendy Freier from Geneva Public Library. Her presentation was about Reference support. Wendy talked about the different resources that were available to member libraries. Our second presentation was done by Jay Robinson from the Canandaigua Wegmans. Jay talked about the importance of good customer service. Both presentations were well received by everyone in attendance.
Each attendee also received some goodies. The following was given to each person ~ Vernon Library Supplies provided a pill dispenser, Highsmith provided bookmarks, and PLS supplied paper and pen. Each attendee also received information about NYSLAA, PLS Books Plus kits as well as some chocolate!
After the workshops were completed, a lunch was made available for purchase. 13 people stayed and enjoyed lunch and the opportunity to network with each other.
