Mm! Thought I'd never have to do another lesson plan in my life.
After spending a few days in the library gaining an understanding of how it operates, the users and their needs, staff needs and collection scope it's time to roll the sleeves up and get to work.
The fun part was checking out the bookshops to see what is available here.
Brian has been busy organizing the catalogue onto an Excel Spreadsheet based on what had already been done. As well, he has been working on helping the lads prepare a business plan for the chicken run they would like to have. The aim will be to generate income.
I've been organizing a session on organization of the library, teaching about the Dewey system. As a practical exercise, The librarians spent time determining where they would place the donated resources. We were all ready for a break, ready to open up the library to continue on Thursday.
All the time I can't help but think how unappreciative I have been of access to resources, services, materials and assistance in my former life in the library.
Well, it's time to follow up on today's session and get ready for collection development.
Maybe this is the second time I am posting this comment.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, sounds like you are having fun and there is plenty to get your teeth into.

Keep having fun

It's been in the mid to high 20's in the daytime, though one day I think it was over 30. Most evenings we don't need a sheet at all. Occasionally we pull one on at about 4 am. The top sheet isn't even put on. It's left folded for when we need it!
