Guess who got a job at a public library!

That's right, my friends – I did!

I'm officially back in the workforce – part-time, of course, so I'll still have plenty of time to continue blogging before I go back to school for my MLIS in January.

That being said, I am happy to announce that I am freshly employed as a library aide at the Community Library in Salem, Wis.

I'm extremely happy I landed my first official library gig, and it makes it extra special knowing that it's at the public library I actually grew up going to – the place that started it all for me, really.

I'll be working mostly at the circulation desk, floating between the main library headquarters in Salem and the Community Library in Twin Lakes. 

After a month's worth of training, you will be able to find me at either library location where I will be helping patrons locate items, checking out and returning materials and – the best part – issuing new library cards to eager readers and learners!

So next time you're in the area, stop in and see me!
