New year, new library gig!

The Community Library, located at 24615 89th St. in Salem, Wis.
I knew that 2015 would bring lots of changes with it, but who knew they would come so soon?

At the end of 2014, I was offered a promotion at the Community Library which I immediately accepted. Now instead of working in the circulation department as a library aide, I'm heading over to the information desk as a library assistant. Tonight starts my first training shift!

This new position comes with more responsibility and higher pay, and I'm equally excited about both. In this new role, I'll be helping patrons reserve and locate library materials, submitting purchase requests for materials not currently in our system and helping with library events and programing. I'll also be functioning as the person-in-charge when a supervisor isn't present, which will include having a key to lock up the library at night.
January also means it's almost time for me to begin my graduate school program. Just this morning I registered for the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee's new student orientation for Masters of Library and Information Science students. I'm extremely excited to jump back into coursework (who would have thunk?), so I've already started reading some of the required young adult books for one of my classes.

I found myself not blogging as regularly as I would have liked to during the holidays, but now that they're over I am rededicating myself to publishing a minimum of three posts a week. Expect a lot of updates about my grad school experience once I begin classes at the end of the month. I also have a stockpile of library-related articles that I will begin posting later this week.

Thanks for reading and following me on this journey!
