Library Lens - Week 47

The week is looking pretty festive! ...with maybe a touch of frustration.

Members of the LibAdminPlus group attended a Performance Coaching workshop this week. Here, Katrina DiGravio and Sue Grant from OHD present the Coaching Model. Photo submitted by Annette Dandyk.

During the Performance Coaching workshop, staff performed a group exercise that required lowering a pole to the ground as a team using just their fingers. (It was a LOT harder than it sounds). Photos taken by Sam Gibbon and submitted by Mary Lynne Bartlett.

The Library was bustling with gift-wrapping elves this week! Photos submitted by Sharon Lamont.

Josh and Charles have some fun with a 3D-printed spine during a session at the WatItIs technical conference.

Josh also walked away with a door prize from the conference. Photos submitted by Carl Nagel.

We've seen a lot of creativity at Musagetes this week! Our co-op and architecture students have been making use of our exam-time craft area to help decorate the library trees...with some spectacular results. Students are invited to share their creations on social media with the hashtag #ARCHandCrafts. Photo submitted by Sara Perkins.

To continue the spirit of the season all the departments seem to be feeling this week, check out this beautiful snowy picture from our archives. The Dana Porter Library is definitely out-shining that tree!
