THANKS AMANI



We appreciate you!


You did a wonderful job of coordinating all of the activities.
I can't wait until the next SUMMER INSTITUTE. I
hope we have many more great speakers who can INSPIRE US to become great librarians.

My LAMPER experience

I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the Summer Institute. I met new scholars who shared the same passion as I do about libraries. We encouraged each others and created lasting friendships. It was a satisfying experience.

The speakers were dynamic especially Traci Hall. She had so much energy and it permeated over to me. I could fully relate to her messages. One message that continues to ring in my ear is that" friction creates motion". Don't sweat the small stuff but welcome change. Change is what causes us to grow as individuals. It is completely okay to be in a work environment that is not ideal. Take advantage of the situation because it will prepare you for your future. Be real to yourself...seek a life for yourself which is gratifying. Don't allow yourself to be tied down to material things but travel light.
