Summer Reading Program is eating my brain
Jul. 17th, 2009 09:30 amHrm. I think that I am naturally very very introverted, so perhaps my choice of career (Librarian) which involves tons and tons of programming and outreach, has a negative effect on my social life.
After 8 hours of going up to every passerby to be like "hi, what can I find you/tell me about what you love in stories/do you have a summer reading program sign up/ would you like to read to a dog this Saturday/yes I can find you every vampire book with a love story in our out of this building (no, really, I swear I can, I just can't give you one now because they are ALL checked out because I do this 8 times a week and the list repeats)" I come home and I just want to stare at TrueBlood on the screen or go running.
I am really good at outreach. I've built volunteering, program offerings, program attendance by percentages that have multiple hundreds in them. But sometimes I just get a bit tired.
