I'm doing my internship at Plymouth Public Library. I'm a resident and patron of PPL. The community serves a local patron base of 12000. Recently a consortium agreement with surrounding communities has risen circulation and patron visitors. This makes for exciting times upcoming this summer for me.
While under the direction of Susie Reinholt the long tenured director I will actually be working under two department supervisors; Young Adult and Children's Department respectively.
I'm looking forward to the challenges each department offer / brings. I'm hoping my activities spill into all aspects of the library. I'm hoping to get a feel for all positions during my internship. I feel this experience will help me decide later in life if a career in public library services is something that interests me. Who knows what I'll be interested in or want to do when I'm 55 and looking towards retirement?? Right now I'm looking forward to my 33rd birthday this month. I guess you could say I'm keeping my options open :)
My first day was actually May 7th. I'm a bit tardy getting the blog up and running. I figured I would take a few days to explore the feasibility of a blog for my journal requirement. I'm planning to keep everything virtually on the blog:
- Daily Entries
- Weekly Reflections
- Descriptive Annotations
I thought the blog would be a good venue for my work because I could update it from anywhere. If in the library I could do my posting from any PC and not have to worry about the feasibility of a flash drive or storage area. The only drawback to this method is the lack of a spell check and grammer check as I type. I rely on those so much!
