I am thrilled to be working in a profession that is a true benefit to society. It is important that we stay relevant as demographics change and society changes. I love the World Cafe model for brainstorming (as a facilitator and a participant). I hope your passion for libraries never lessens. Thank you for helping Worthington Libraries be progressive. --KristinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054198.post-65085355047543134642008-02-14T16:44:00.000-05:002008-02-14T16:44:00.000-05:00George, I appreciated the opportunity to hear you ...George, I appreciated the opportunity to hear you first-hand!

One of the attendees at the WL session is an elementary school principal who had recently organized a World Cafe session for his teaching staff, parents and other interested community members. From that conversation they have moved forward in researching several innovative ideas including multi-age classrooms, balanced calendar, and curriculum changes. The school staff's creativity, enthusiasm for potential large-scale change, and outside-the-comfort-zone thinking are wowing. The World Cafe approach seems to generate a lot of energy and enthusiasm, though for me the term is totally "taken" by the NPR show already, sorry.<BR/><BR/>Also gee, thanks for the example of a fun library site. :-)Janet IDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01566959029016227016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054198.post-62287264056607210732008-02-14T11:40:00.000-05:002008-02-14T11:40:00.000-05:00George, your presentation at the Worthington Libra...George, your presentation at the Worthington Libraries' retreat was very informative.
