Toward the Finish Line
Originally published at biblio+chic. Please leave any comments there.
I can’t believe it, but I’m beginning my last semester of library school next week! It’s been an absolutely, fantastic, amazing, experience-filled ride, and the best is yet to come. This semester I’ll be working at a local library for a practicum experience, where I get to work with teens in a library, work on and create projects, and basically learn all I can about being a teen librarian.
I’m super excited about it and can’t wait to begin! I’ll also be taking one class this semester, Museum Studies for Librarians, and two workshops, one on video games in libraries (awesome, right?) and another on young adult literature. STOKED! Can you believe I get to go to school for this kind of thing?
This semester I’m really going to focus on building my professional credentials, skills, and experiences, in the hopes that I can find and obtain a job when I graduate. I’m participating in a lot of cool programs, volunteering, and working my butt off to make this happen. Since I’ll be in a library setting much more often than usual, I’m hoping to really amp up my posts here with insights and anecdotes about my experiences in the library.
Wish me luck, and look forward to reading about my first week of my marathon toward the finish line next week!
