Wasn't I meant to be posting about work issues on Wednesdays? Well, here we are, and I have had some interesting work lately. Although M has transferred schools, a move that continues to go well, I am still working in the library at his former school. Mainly I do basic stuff, checking books out and in, but it has helped me to get to know a K-12 collection. Recently I have made some acquisitions recommendations in media studies and I'm also working on a project to create research guides for students working on their International Baccalaureate extended essay, a kind of senior thesis required for graduation. Today I also began leading the weekly library program for M's class. I really enjoy my work with K-12 libraries. Some aspects are completely different from anything I've done, and some are quite similar.
Over the past couple of weeks I have also found myself looking at employment ads with increasing frequency. I haven't quite determined what this means--will I apply for something? I suppose if the right thing came along, maybe 20 hours per week at a school library. Meantime, I'm pretty content to volunteer in exchange for learning so much about a different type of library.
