Brentwood Library Internship Week Six


On Monday, I did the usual preparation for the baby story time and the toddler story time. This week there really wasn’t much to do, so I just laid out the carpet squares where the kids would sit. When I was done with that, I was able to get in some desk time. Monday mornings can be rather busy, so I spent a lot of time giving out prizes for the summer reading contest, helping people find books, and answering other questions.

On Tuesday, I worked all day in reference. I really enjoyed this because there was always something interesting to do. My day started off with a list of adult fantasy books that were to be pulled off the shelves and weeded, which means these particular books were to be taken out of circulation because they haven’t been checked out in at least a year. These books will then be given to the annual book sale. After I pulled them from the shelves, I had to go into the computer and remove the titles from the system. When I was finished with that, I had to do some shifting, which pretty much means making the shelves neater looking. I had to make sure that the shelves were 3/4  full and no more. Then, I was given a list of non-fiction books to weed through and remove from the computers.

Wednesday was a very slow day, so I went into the back office to work on story time. For the farm animals toddler tub, I have included a poem about a barn and different colored chicks using felt figures on a felt board. My supervisor got me the different colored felt I needed for this activity, so I cut out chicks in white, pink, green, purple, black, blue, brown and yellow, then I cut out a red barn from the felt. For my own story time, I will be doing a dragon craft, so I spent the rest of the time gluing googly eyes to cotton balls.
