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.

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!
