Watch "What's New in Libraries?" Channel 24 on Comcast
Increasing the North Suburban Library System member libraries’ visibility is a key goal of What’s New in Libraries? This cable program is created in partnership with the Library Cable Network (LCN) to highlight the many fun and interesting things that member libraries are doing while providing members with the experience of being interviewed on camera.
Can't watch, then you better read this! Sarah Long’s Daily Herald Column, every Tuesday. Sarah is fantastic at bring library topics and events before the public on a weekly basis is the motivation for NSLS Director Sarah Long to write her Daily Herald column. Her articles frequently feature member libraries, quotes and suggestions from their staff, and increase their visibility.
... and don't forget about Digital Past!
Sharing information in new and inventive ways is one of the goals NSLS libraries have pursued. Since 1998, Digital Past has created an online archive of over 35, 000 digital records to allow the participating institutions a chance to share their rare and unique records with the world. This is a great link to add primary sources to any school project and making community connections!

Changes!

They say changes are good! ... but it sure doesn't feel right when you turn left when the tenancy is to turn right. I admit it: it's weird, I hate change but, I also look forward to it! I always try to keep a positive attitude and be optimistic, I know that change will always bring something good into my life and I also know that I am resilient, strong and capable of getting through anything. Sometimes (actually most of the time) my emotions, including the negative ones,are there as a guide but,in reality, I replace them with more positive ones. I also realize that the more quickly I accept or choose to change, the less likely the pain and hardship will be. I really get a kick out of challenging myself and empowering myself with questions and words. I think, the better I push myself, the better thoughts I am allowing myself to come up and I know will be connecting to something bigger. I make an all out attempt to live my inner-self, my soul, my spirit, my higher-self. And everyday, I try to surround myself with people who can help and who have an optimistic mind-set. This ensure me to create an environment the supports my change. I realize, I must take action & take command of my life. I must build a plan and take care of myself...so what am I waiting for? I must be my own knight in shining armor and join the realm of other patriots...Godspeed give m strength and lead me to my destiny.
