About Me
As the Employee Learning & Development Coordinator for the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County I oversee the training, learning, and development of nearly 600 staff. I’ve done my share of front-line duties as well with six years on the reference desk at a busy regional library.
My passion is in learning and technology and making technology easy for people to understand. I believe that the best learning happens outside the four walls of the traditional classroom. I enjoy coaching, mentoring, and helping others to be the best that they can be.
I live in Charlotte, North Carolina with my husband Russ (who is also a library trainer), our two children (ages 4 and 1), two cats, and a fish.

I am currently the Program Coordinator at Princeton Public Library in Princeton NJ. I oversee a cross-departmental team of 12 that is responsible for all programming at the library. We are a single location library in a small town and we offer 1,600+ program per year (everything from story time for the young to programming for seniors). For many years I was the Technology Training Librarian at Princeton and though my job has expanded and I am teaching less, I am still in the lab a few times a month teaching and staying current.

About Me
I am the WebJunction Kansas coordinator and work with continuing education for the State Library of Kansas. I have worked with Kansas libraries since 1993. For several years I worked as a private consultant in the areas of library technology, planning and leadership. During the past 15 years I have watched online information activity explode from my early days as a Gopher addict. Barrels of fun for me being involved in the launch of a social networked WebJunction. Looks like my online dreams are coming true. Time to update them.

About Me
Excerpted from:
http://peterbromberg.com/about/
I am the Assistant Director at the South Jersey Regional Library Cooperative
(SJRLC), a multi-type consortium in New Jersey. One of my main duties is to
provide continuing education opportunities to library staff in the 630+
libraries in the southern seven counties of New Jersey.
I am proud to have helped develop and manage QandANJ.org, New Jersey's 24/7
virtual reference service. We were the first 24/7 collaborative virtual
reference service, and sometimes I get asked to go somewhere and talk about how
we "did it good".
My ALA activities include a three year stint as Secretary for ALA's
Continuing
Library Education Network and Exchange Round Table (CLENE). I currently serve as
membership chair and webmaster for CLENE, and recently developed CEBuzz (http://cebuzz.wordpress.org)
a collaborative blog that addresses continuing education and staff development.
I am also very involved in the planning of ALA's Emerging Leaders program.
Locally, I have served as Chair of NJLA's Professional Development Committee,
co-Chaired New Jersey's Train-the-Trainer program and actively develop and
present for our "Super Library Supervisors" series.
I enjoy speaking and presenting, and currently serve as President of a
Toastmasters club for librarians. I'd be happy to talk to other librarians who
are interested in setting up their own local chapter.
In my spare time I play as much tennis as I can and have been enjoying learning
improv over the past year or two, and recently began taking guitar lessons.
COACHING
I have been offering personal coaching services (sometimes called life coaching,
or executive coaching) since July, 2006. I am still learning how to do it, but
seem to have a natural ability for it and enjoy it quite a bit. I am receiving
training on how to be an effective coach from one of the best -- a former
President of the NJ Coaches Association.
If you are interested in learning more about coaching, or think you may find
value in being coached, check out my coaching page, or get
in touch with me.
In addition to continuing education and staff development, I am very interested
in customer service (aka customer experience) and the idea of "library as
place". These interests and ideas are often informed by my experience working at
Nordstrom. Sometimes I blab about these and other topics at my blog, Library
Garden (http://librarygarden.blogspot.com)
. Complete info about me me me is available at my homepage:

About Me
I am the Program Coordinator for the Central Jersey Regional Library Cooperative in NJ. We cover Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean counties. I formerly worked as the Head of Reference for the Paterson Free Public Library, in Paterson, NJ, and before that as a Librarian at the Clifton (NJ) Public Library.
I have been involved with WebJunction's Spanish Language Outreach Program, attending their institute in Seattle and then working with them on the webinars!
I am very interested in technology and social software, as well as gaming and literacy. I love reading, being on the computer, knitting and traveling.
I received my MLIS from Rutgers (SCILS) in 2003 and am currently a part-time lecturer for the School of Communication, Information and Library Science there.
I think WebJunction is awesome! :-)
