As some of you know, I recently got a job at my local library! Well, I started training last week, and let me just say... I LOVE LIBRARY! (Yes, this is a total "Anchorman" reference... but it's true... I do love library... and Will Ferrell). It's everything I hoped it would be. I'm working at the circulation desk and get to see so many awesome books and DVDs and things like that, and it's been SO FREAKIN' FUN! :-D I'm training this week too, and Saturday will be my first day as a non-trainee. WooHoo!My mom and I are such library nerds so I already knew a lot of the little intricacies about the library and how it works and all of that, so I felt right at home immediately. From spending so much time at libraries all of my life, this job feels somewhat like second nature to me. I just get to imitate what I've seen the other employees at the library do ever since I was a child. It's awesome. I still have my other job as a pharmacy techinician at Wegmans, and I love those coworkers SO much, but now I have a new set of coworkers to get to know too, and hopefully become good friends with, just like my awesome Wegmans family. :) Two jobs plus being a full time college student is inc
redibly tiring and stressful, but it's worth it because the library is where I belong, and I hope to continue to grow in my knowledge and passion for libraries. In just a couple of years, hopefully I'll have my MLIS and I'll BE a librarian. I can't wait for my future to begin!So yes, I love library, I love being surrounded by books all day, I love talking to other booklovers and feeling completely in my element. This is my future and I am so content.
What would we do without our libraries? :)
I adore libraries.
ReplyDeleteI love my libraries too, and support them as much as I can.
ReplyDeleteNeat blog...first- time visitor.
ReplyDeleteFound you on Lori's Linky for SHOW ME THE MONEY. :)
libraries are one of my favourite places on earth...can't get enough of that old-book smell :)
ReplyDeleteI adore my library and I'm there probably three times a week. You're so lucky you get to work in one. And good for you for becoming a librarian. I wish I would have done that. But when I was young I didn't love books as much as I do now. You're blessed to have found your passion at such a young age :)
ReplyDeleteOh that is just precious Steph, enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI personally would get to know your new colleagues before sharing about your blog, but thats me, they may totally get it :-)
You will have to start a weekly post about what you have recommended or added to your TBR pile from working there.
I'm glad that the job is going so well, I'm actually quite jealous!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been in a library for a long time and would love to be able to. I've been waiting for over a year for the new library nearby to be finished, but it's STILL not open.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to hearing more about your adventures in the library!
I've always loved the library and gone there ever since I was about 3 that I can remember but my local one is quite small. In a few years time, I'd like to volunteer there.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new job! I also work in a library.. It's great fun! Well.. sometimes it can be a little stressful, but what job can't? I hope you enjoy your new job!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the job, Steph! Our community just built a new Library and it's huge. I can't wait to just go in there and lose myself for awhile LOL...
ReplyDeleteI too grew up spending a lot of time in the library. I always thought it would be a great place to work. I love it when the librarians are excited about books too. Your library is lucky to have someone as passionate about books as you are! You will be a great librarian!
ReplyDeleteLibraries are great! But I have to say that they lack in the YA department. I would like to see some great english books in the libraries here in Holland. But hey, I can always buy them. The library that is almost just around the corner is small, but lovely. ;) Great post.
ReplyDeleteNew follower! Congrats on your job!! Found you on Lori's Show Me The Money Post!
ReplyDeleteWow-- that is really awesome. I am glad to hear that you have a job you love!
ReplyDeleteLibraries are amazing and so are librarians :D
Congrats on the new job and loving it so far! I hope you'll continue to post about the things you do at work; I'd love to hear more about 'the life of a librarian!' Maybe a new feature for the blog ;) Haha.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to let you know that my blog Cover to Cover moved. I had some RSS feed problems so I'm just trying to let people whose blogs I read and comment on know!
You have got an awesome job. And that's all there is to it. To be surrounded by books all day? Well, that really is heaven on earth if you ask me :)
ReplyDeleteThat's very nice that you mentioned me (your mom) in your blog. However, I must disagree with the library nerd part. I am very cool.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You're livin' my dream!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE MY LIBRARY TOO!!! It is the perfect place to work! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteYAY...I love my library, and have always been a fan. (That cat pix is too cute).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I love my library too, and there's nothing better than being surrounded by books. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteCongrats !!! I love my library too! Getting lost among all those books is such a delightful feel!
