Miscellania

Today I:

  • Made Summer Reading Club completion packets (set of 10 stickers, entry form for Breakfast of Champions, Wall of Fame slip, 10 More Books form)
  • Shadowed on the reference desk for most of the day as other people cycled in and out
  • Tidied children’s room (oy, the tidying that was needed.  We’ve been hugely busy.)
  • Politely asked a lady to leave the meeting room, which should have been locked.  She was very nice about it and just needed a plug for her laptop.  I sent her to the study area in the back of the library and all was wel.
  • Helped the teen librarian find paranormal romances for her display and got to dig through the newly arrived uncataloged paperbacks.

No particularly exciting reference questions, just an incident where a girl was looking for one of the innumerable Flower (or Sport, or Jewel, or Dance) Fairy books by Daisy Meadows and I searched the catalog but neglected to do it last name first and failed to turn anything up, which I *knew* was wrong.

Things I learned today:

  • LAST NAME FIRST when doing author searches.
  • Lock the meeting room, and be nice and probably people will not get cantankerous.
