Trainee of the monthDavid Patten05 January 2009, Anne Downes
Name: David Patten
Library: Tameside Central Library
If there is one thing I will remember about doing the Frontline course, it is: I have learnt so many things from doing this course but if I had to pick one thing then it would be how to set up effective book displays where people notice, take an interest, and regularly borrower the books. One thing a reader said/did in reaction to the work I did on the course was: After I set up my display one reader said to me that I have chosen a good location for the display. He said that nearly everybody looks at the returns shelf and because my display was opposite he said people would notice it. One difference that taking the course made for me was: There have been several differences to me that have been beneficial from taking this course, such as talking to borrowers or doing displays. But I think the most important difference is my confidence in doing these various things. One change that borrowers might notice in my library as a result of Frontline is: Borrowers will see more displays in the library that have been influenced by me because I feel comfortable in putting these together rather than just leaving it for someone else to do. Any other comments? This course is very beneficial in completing. Before I started it I wasn't too keen on doing it at first, but after I had started it I soon realised how much it would help me in my job and what it would do for my confidence. |
