Curiosity

I like to think that librarians are a pretty curious bunch. After all, it's not so much what we know, but what we are able to discover and create that makes us so valuable to the community. I have to admit, though, my risk-taking threshold is very low. So, in some ways I have to push myself to stay curious. I do like the quote from Albert Einstein, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." I tend to pick and choose my areas of intense interest or exploration, which border on obsession,like my curiosity about dogs and dog behaviors. So if obsessive exploration counts as curiosity then I must have some - though I doubt it's going to make me rich in anything other than experience.

Thanks so much for the project play curriculum, for all of the web links - I now have photos posted to flickr and built my own radio station on Pandora and have created slide shows and wikis and am looking forward to creating widgets for potential use on Teen Topix book blog. It's been an incredible course!!

Hi Karen,

I love the video you posted - I had no idea there are competitions like that! How cool - but I don't think I'd get Callie (my black and tan coonhound) to dance like that!

Thanks for your comments on the completion of Project Play and I'm really glad to hear about all the things you're taking away from this project. Keep me posted on how things go!

Keep on playing,

Jean
