Library Day in the Life, Wednesday
Today is going to be a busy one, largely because yesterday I was a little bit of a slacker. Procrastination, thy name is Laura.

Library Day in the Life, Monday

And the day is over
So much for trying to update periodically throughout the day for this Library Life in the Day project. And so much for getting through my To Do list. I call it a To Do Wishlist for a reason. I did manage to edit the PR document on my desk, and that was an easy start…

New Librarian’s Day in the Life
Today is the second annual Library Day in the Life web event: Librarians all over the world chronicle their work day on their blogs and other web sites, and all these postings are pulled together in one place. Now, I’m a new librarian: I graduated from Simmons GSLIS in May and just started my first…
