On Monday, I was scared out of my mind because that was the day that I was supposed to do my story time. I felt really prepared and I had even cut out Dingle Dangle Scarecrow, which was a song that was making me really nervous because it wasn't really well-known. For the most part, I was just afraid of things going wrong, like forgetting the words to the songs or the kids not being entertained by what I had prepared. However, I got through it and I survived! There were a few rough patches when I was talking to the kids because I would say something and they just wouldn't reply at all. They absolutely adored the dragon craft idea, which I felt like saved the day.
Tuesday, I worked the desk and it was incredibly boring. There weren't very many people around the library, so I really did not have much to do. My supervisor was still on vacation, so I couldn't ask her if there were any little tasks for me to do. However, I was able to do a few things at the desk, like help people find books and check books out.
I went into the library on Wednesday almost relieved that it was my last day. The days working there had grown a little boring and I spent most of my time just working the desk. I started off the day working at the desk, but as the day went on, I found other things to occupy my time with. I did just little odd jobs around the library like putting books away, processing the new books into the system and weeding a few books.
This whole experience really opened my eyes to what it is like to work in a library. I knew that I would enjoy it, but I had no idea to what level I would enjoy it. There really wasn't much that I didn't like about working there. I loved all the little odd jobs there was to do and I loved helping the customers. This is definitely something that I will think about pursuing.
