Hi Carlee!
It’s nice to meet you. I worked in education for 8 years. 6 of which was alongside teachers as a library assistant (essentially the librarian). Teaching is HARD, I think it’s wonderful that you taught for 6 years. Although I didn’t teach in the traditional sense, I still operated under the public school education model and I believe that helped me to develop a lot of great skills that transfer to the public library sector, especially children’s services.-
Oh yes! I am the library assistant where I work so I get it. We have very similar duties to the librarians – actually, as a matter of fact – the only difference is that I don’t hire people or manage my coworkers. I am okay with that though :). The skills definitely transfer to the public library world.

@crlhayd It is super interesting that you work with museums etc. That space fascinates me: the junction between libraries and the museum sector – GLAM as they say! Welcome to #hyperlib!

Yes! I work in Dover, Delaware which is essentially the heart of the state. We are lucky that we have a museum across the street (Biggs Museum of Art) that we work closely with. They attended our summer kickoff carnival in June and I work with them every summer to do the “Read & Make”. I read stories, they look at the art with the kids and wrap it up with a craft. I have also coordinated programs with museums and businesses around town like the First State Heritage Park (historical programs), Air Mobility (Air Force families), State Police Museum, Dover Art League, and this spring I am having a homeschool event at the Delaware Public Archives. I have also worked with restaurants and bakeries to host programs. Cupcake decorating is in September. It’s really fun outreach!
