What a great week! I have started classes at the University of North Texas on my way to becoming a librarian. I have also had a wonderful few days working in my new library. I got a lesson in cataloging and entering books into Horizon from Cindy. I now have lots of practice--I have entered all the old STAR kits and am now beginning on the class sets of paperbacks. I also think I will be on a total high this year with the students and teachers. I let the summer school kids come and check out books. The students and teachers got to FREELY choose any books from ANY shelf. They hadn't been able to do that in years. I got told how wonderful I was and how nice I was. Nothing like that for an ego boost!
I didn't realize how much I will love being a librarian. I should have done this years ago. However, there is a right time for everything and this is the right time. I look forward to reading and reviewing the literature for my class. Wow--required reading--totally not a burden at all!
