Story time was muuuch better now that the initial anxiety is gone. Entertaining toddlers is tougher than it looks buuut really not that difficult. We did our old standby head-shoulders-knees and toes. That's the part when participation is at its premium.

I complained to a couple of very nice volunteers who gave me fantastic ideas about simple crafts to do with the children. That part of the day was peachy.

Yesterday Courtney got on my last nerve. Marketing said they'd help with the Summer Reading Kick-off. Help, yes - plan without my approval and knowledge???!!! Oh HELL NO!!! The Airmen Leadership School has executed it for the past 2 years WITHOUT marketing's help AND it was completely the library's plan FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS!!! AS IT SHOULD BE. Courtney is the special events coordinator. NOOOT the person who plans events for the s Courtney not only held a meeting I wanted to scream at, she also chose a craft and arranged with the youth center to have their classes attend and do presentations. All of these things are good ideas HOWEVER none of these things were approved or even run by me until AFTER the fact. Today I asked her who told her to plan my event???!!! She couldn't really answer that satisfactorily. Instead she told me Mr. C wanted to meet with us. I don't see why we had to involve him especially when he was on vacation. I called her and told her he was on vacation but she said he was here. I told her Dale is going to Texas for him so NOOO he's not here. She insisted he was and sure I could be wrong but I don't think so.

We have a meeting scheduled with him for the 23rd. An entire week before we settle this.
