My New Mission In Life: To Be A BPL Power User
So, apparently, there’s a new thing going on at the Brooklyn Public Library where patrons who have more than 4,000 checkouts are awarded the designation of Power User. I WANT THIS TITLE!! Lol. I’m an avid reader, and I love the library!
A librarian whom I queried about the Power User program told me that she only had 1,000 checkouts, and she is also an avid reader. I’m currently a bit over 1,200 checkouts. I’m not sure how many years it will take me to reach 4,000 checkouts, but I’m in it to win it! Lol.
According to the Brooklyn Public Library’s website, Power users have the following privileges: “A silver Power User library card, bragging rights, and some special gifts.” I WANT IT ALL! Hopefully, I can reach the half-way point at least before the decade ends. I’ll keep you posted.
Love, Speed, and Accuracy,
Elsie Villega

I Love Steno Trivia Tuesday
QUESTION: How many languages are there in the world?
ANSWER: According to BBC, there are about 7,000 different languages in the world. However, most of the languages in existence are not spoken by a large population of people. The BBC states that 90% of the existing languages are spoken by less than 100,000, and 46 languages have a solitary speaker.

Which Millennial Actress Would Probably Make A Great Court Reporter?
Naya Rivera.
I just started reading her autobiography, “Sorry, Not Sorry.” In her book, she talks about her great ability for recall. She says that she developed her memory by memorizing scripts before she could read or write. Naya Rivera also states that she can remember conversations she had months ago word-for-word. If that’s not an attribute that would make a great court reporter I don’t know what is.
