How I Spent a Great Wed September 3, 2009

After talking with a few people who asked for pics of MCLD Deweyless Libraries, figured I could post some here. So Wed I spent the afternoon driving around to three different libraries and will be posting them soon. It was really nice seeing the Deweyless concept expanding. SInce it was 1st Wed, which means Chandler Art Walk! I met with my friends Kris Sherman and Terry. I arrived early and went seeking free WiFi I could have visited the Downtown Chandler Library, that would have meant crossing the street. Too much effort. LOL! OK I also wanted a meeting with my friend vodka. So, I hit up the Urban Tea Loft and first was a little disturbed when they said I would need to go in the back room since they don’t allow phone or laptops in the main dinning room. staff lead me  down a  hallway which got me worried the it be next to the bathroom in the kitchen. Pleasantly the room had a lounge feel, tuck naugahyde walls, great little modern laptop tables with a big window looking into the dinning room. In fact it was so cozy that Kris, Terry and I  missed the Art Walk and talked for hours. It was great to catch up, hang out, and  we are already planning another rendezvous to coincide with the completion of remodeling of a couple of Chandler lIbraries. Terry learned about Volunteer opportunities with Chandler library help students learn in a variety of programs. Which is something he has been looking to do, but didn’t know how to investigate. We also ran into the amazingly energetic Eileen Brill Wagner from the Downtown Chandler Community Partnership. Kris asked about other cool happening and out came a long list. The up shot, they are now facebook friends. So Kris can keep tabs on the events happening in DT Chandler. Here is a toast to bringing circles together and having great times. The big lesson learned was take pics, there should have been at least 1 pic to document this gather of friends. Next time! Here is to the continued learning of us all!
