Nearly three weeks have passed with me in my new position. I'm still not quite sure what that position is. My brand new, just-got-yesterday name tag simply labels me as belonging to the Adult Services Department. I know I shouldn't use the term "librarian" because I studied English, not Library Sciences. That's about as far as I got. I wormed my way in because they needed a presence for the teen section, and the teens wanted someone young. I cemented my place with the other woman in charge of YA because the section was weak on fantasy and comics, and those are my two passions.
But otherwise, I'm still a little lost. Which is okay - finding your way is sometimes the best way to learn where you should go.
I wanted to make this post as a sort of FAQ answer - "What is this blog about?" Because blogs have become so popular, so numerous, you really need a good edge in to make it count. I doubt mine is a novel one, but I'm a young woman who loves books who learned two months ago that working at a library was a legitimate thing to do, and I'd love to share my experiences. At the same time, I want to make a place where I can expand upon this job, learn new things and share what I learn, be that new books (expect a lot of book reviews - I've always wanted to try writing those), interesting program ideas that I won't have a chance to get to for a year, and ways to connect with the teen generation that wants to experience the world through a digital mirror.
Let's see how it goes.
Shade and sweet water to you all! (Perhaps that quote reference will provide my first blogged review!) -- Samma Lynne
