It's been a LOT of fun, and I've gotten really good reviews on the evaluations the teachers do at the end of the program. I'm hoping this will be a good inroad for once I get my teaching certificate. I'm also looking into volunteering at my local library because eventually, once I can afford it, I'd like to get my MLIS and work in either a public or school library.jessn1017https://www.blogger.com/profile/02465855818281420410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392415036278635468.post-89405966496846901362011-11-24T12:56:33.682-08:002011-11-24T12:56:33.682-08:00I am still not a librarian.

The librarian director may be offering me a position soon though. I will be leading a new book club at this library starting in March. I am very excited about that!Heather's Library Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14411831291848970114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392415036278635468.post-74657737522070026022011-11-24T12:46:26.810-08:002011-11-24T12:46:26.810-08:00What an excellent suggestion!

I'm two weeks away from a degree in library science and can use any tips that you have!<br /><br />I had to take one of those $8/hour library jobs but we also had VA eduction money coming in. I was a PT library clerk for 8 months. Then I got a position purchasing, receiving and working with ILLs in the library. It's just PT and 12.95/hour but teaching me a whole lot. <br /><br />How long did it take you to get a job as a librarian? How long have you been a YA librarian? <br /><br />After reading your posts I'll definitely pick up some volunteering along with this PT job!<br /><br />Thanks for the post Heather! And any tips you can send my way would be MUCH appreciated!<br /><br />~Aubrey<br />towerofthegods.com/dreamerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
