Sheckler Returns to Blog, Explains Absence -- Excuses Abound

This is my first post in awhile. I would say it's because I'm lazy, but I've actually had a bunch of other, possibly more important things on my mind.

I finished my first year of higher education on May 1 and began a two-week summer course four days later. I managed to post a couple times during those two weeks, but after I finished my class I turned my attention to the dreaded summer job-hunt.

I was lucky enough to score a full-time job at the Goshen Public Library, where I've been employed on a part-time basis for over three years. One of my responsibilities at GPL is to help promote young adult activities such as the Teen Summer Reading Experience.

So, I'm experimenting with a wide variety of PR tools. I'm blogging about teen library events here, as well as trying out Twitter as a way of informing the public about library activities.

On a side note, has anybody had any success using Twitter as a PR tool for a company or organization? If so, I'd love to hear how you pulled it off.

Anyway, I'm pretty excited about the blogging/PR experience I'm getting at GPL. I haven't had time to blog here as much, but it's been worth it.

Now that I'm settling into my summer routine, I expect to start posting here more. Bear with me.
