@maricarmen I saw appreciate you posting this. It is super important to do self-care and to take care of yourself out of work. I also went to our lecture on reflective practice, which comes at the end, to make sure that I had said what I always say when I talk about being all in: if you’re all in at work, you have to take care of yourself when…[Read more]

@annaberger your point about support is well-made. For staff to be successful in jobs like this and some of the other ones I’ll be posting as well as just library jobs in general. We really need to support staff in every way possible.

@aarontassin You highlight some of the things that resonated with me about this one… JOY!
I’m hopeful that these days, even with people complaining about books and demonizing the library in some ways, that folks can still find joy in the work.

@biblobrowsing The weather has certainly turned chilly here… I think we will have a few warm days this week… but nothing like our hot summer. Hope things cool off for you soon.

Hello @zoewilliams I think it is because the video is unlisted. I went to your video on YT and grabbed the share URL and tried that above…and then one of my videos of the boys swimming. It embedded! Maybe try listing the video?

Hyperlinked Job Description – Creativity!
This one popped up in early summer 2018 here in Michigan. What do you think? (bolding mine) CLASSIFICATION: Librarian (ET. – 40 […]-
Sounds like a piece out of our Innovation Strategy & Roadmap assignment > “This is a new position and requires the individual selected to plan, develop, and create the implementation plan for the Creative Space including purchasing equipment and engaging staff and the community to design the space.”
Wow, Library 2.0 foundational stuff > “Seeks out and engages with community groups to promote and plan creative services and events utilizing written, oral, video, web, and social media communication.”
Goes back to an earlier class where the point was made that Librarianship is all about people, not Books > “Finds joy in serving the public.”
Sounds like this would be a cool gig 😊.

What a great opportunity to engage with the community! If I came across a job description that included “curiosity” it would definitely grab my interest — working with a bunch of curious people is the ideal place for me! This position sounds like a tall order, but I hope they found the right person and the library gave all the necessary support to help them succeed.

@biblobrowsing Activities…. kitchen dance parties with your favorite music are fun. Also – I have found it feels good to speak up a bit more when I used to be quiet. Maybe that comes with age too. Also expressing feelings out loud. If I am feeling something sure as heck my friends and family probably have too.
