My First Day...

My First Day...

This being my first day, I was a little nervous about what to expect and what I would experience in the library.  More importantly, would I be able to see and learn all that I needed to.   Would I be able to stand up to the task?  Would I be able to do what this wonderful librarian was showing me one day?  So it began...

I started off with learning the process of putting away new books that had been ordered over the summer.  The librarian takes into special account books that she knows her students will be interested in.  She takes pride in having the newest and most note-worthy books available.  

What I was able to learn was how she ordered the books from the Junior Library Guild.  This site allows the librarians to choose whether they want to have the books pre-labeled or not.  Most of the time, the librarian informed me that she has the books pre-labeled or have the labels sent and the librarian assistant does this in the back office.  I was able to help laminate the book covers and help put labels on the books for the day.  This was accompained with helping students check-out books and search for books.
