 * FEBRUARY 25, 2014 **
 * RONDA'S CORNER **

Welcome back. I hope everyone had a refreshing week off.

I would like to start off my "corner" by letting you know about a terrific two-part training opportunity that the Western New York Library Assistants Committee is sponsoring called "**Using Your 'Strengths' as a Library Assistant**" and "**Getting More From Your Kindle or iPad**". (flyer link below) For the "Strengths" training, after you register, you will get a code to go online and take an assessment to find out what your top strengths are then you bring that information with you to the training.



This link will take you to more information and the registration page. http://wnylrc.org/index.asp?custom=reportoutput&reportID=46&sid=CABECCBAJDIACJJJJJJ&outputStyle=workshopReport&workshopId=512762
