today marks a year that i’ve been a librarian. here are a few things that have surprised me during the year:
- some of my colleagues are more word-nerdy than i
- writing collaboratively has given me a new perspective on the peer-review process
- being the youngest librarian on staff hasn’t been intimidating
- though i had no ambitions to work at a reference desk, my 2-hour weekly shifts are quite enjoyable
- i haven’t had to cheerlead my staff to do a solid job; they do it naturally
sounds like it’s been a pretty good year, yes?
