I pretend like I’m a librarian. I don’t have all the tools I need, but that may end soon, if I have my way. I only spend two hours a week there (for now) but it gives me time to know what’s in there.
It’s a small library, and from what I could see today, it’s been pretty haphazardly run. I haven’t worked in a library since I was 14, but it’s something you never lose.
OK, Kids...y’all will have to fight over the 00’s, because I’m outta here for the night!
Take care!
Agreed! I've been far more "library worker" than "librarian" -- my one experience at cataloging books (over some period of time, those that didn't come "pre-catalogued") told me how difficult that is, and I am no longer surprised at being told that those who are expert at same are sometimes considered a bit "off" by others.
But you are correct: it's something you never lose!
How big/small is the library? The last I worked with (and I applied my computer skills to their system) had about 20,000 books, fiction and non-fiction combined. (My SF collection reached about 3,000 books alone before The Great Weeding.)
