Thing One-again

I supervise a small group of "pages" (shelvers) who are usually at the library when I am not. They don't all have email address, and I was feeling disconnected from them. I didn't feel like I could "catch" all of them when I had a new task or alternate directions, so I created a blog that is posted on the computer where they sign in and out for each shift. It's only been up a few weeks, but they are reading it, and I've had some responses back. It seems to be working for us as a way of communicating remotely!
