As service providers, I think it's easy to become so concerned with addressing patrons' needs that we forget that in order to do so, we need to address those of staff first.

I had a student drop by for a research consultation which is rare in the summer!<BR/><BR/>I love the point about making play a part of daily routines.

It may take me a few weeks, however, as I'm juggling multiple client projects and getting ready for a long-awaited vacation. So I ask for your & your readers' patience in the meantime. <BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>SybilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
