7 and 1/2 Lifelong Learning Habits

The number three habit of lifelong learning is to view problems as challenges. That is my most difficult habit to conquer. I tend to get so wrapped up in the problem, that I can't see it as a challenge. Viewing problems in a different way would help to give a bigger picture of the problem and make it easier to solve.

The number seven habit is to teach or mentor others. This habit would be the easiest for me since teaching is such a large part of my life. Although some people don't realize that librarians teach, it is an everyday occurrence for every librarian. From assisting students or patrons in using the online catalog to showing students how to do a works cited page, librarians are teaching.

Batty for Books

I've always been a reader. I remember reading the Trixie Belden books in 4th grade, Nancy Drew in 5th grade, and Victoria Holt in junior high.
