First Impressions

So, one day in to my 10 day placement, what are my first impressions of life in a public library?

Well, apparently Monday is always a bit short-staffed, and with this being the first day of the school holidays, things were pretty busy. I spent a fair bit of time in the check-in room and shelving books, but frankly that was fine by me as I had a nasty head cold. While I was happy to help on the front desk I did feel a bit useless as I had to keep telling people I couldn't help them. However, everyone was very friendly, and I can see that it is mostly pretty simple once you know how the systems work.

Anyway, tomorrow should be a bit more normal, and I should get to be involved in some of the school holiday activities.
