2022 saw a big change for me. I moved to a new city and changed jobs. I am now a Youth Services Librarian in a larger library! This was the culmination of my job search that was a long time coming with many different hurrdles to cross. I have left the library that was my start and working in a city library now. This has been a big change for me, though I am loving it. But I have neglected my personal reading for fun and this blog. I do have some that are waiting to be written and am reading new books.
My TBR pile is still growing, and I am still working to finish Cloud Cuckoo Land that I have been reading for much of 2022, maybe 2023 will actually see me finish the book!
I have always wanted to be a Children's Librarian, well since I started going into libraries in 2015 and worked on my MLIS from SJSU where I did have a focus on children & teens. I had started out to be a teacher, as that was my first career (still seems strange that I already am on my second career in my mid-thirties). I still love teaching and this position allows me to teach but not be responsible for the wellbeing of each child as their guardian is with them, except the older children.
I love being able to work as part of a team which this new move has enabled and provided, unlike my old position where I was a solo-librarian and manager. Now I have a manager over me as well as many associates under me who work with me in providing excellent service to the community.
I am going to continue to update this blog periodically with some book reviews, maybe finally Cloud Cuckoo Land and possibly add ideas for Youth Services Librarianship as I continue to grow in my position. I have my review coming soon and look forward to continuing for much longer in this position.
Here's to a Wonderful New Year!
