Long time no update!
Here’s what I’ve been up to:
Graduated!
Bumped up to FT hours!
Attended OLC and was part of the James A. Cook Book Award Committee!
Attended the 2019 YALSA Symposium in Memphis
Joined a CSLP committee
Picked to serve on a national committee I can’t talk about yet
Planned a few storytimes
Planned and led anime-themed afterschool programs
Planned a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament for teens/young adults
Doubled our teen SRP attendance
Held monthly anime clubs at the library, with 12-15 teens in attendance
Read over 200 books in 2019
Offered more booktalks at a local high school
Trained with others for a NASA initiative, where teens + tweens make gliders
and lots more I can’t think of at the top of my head.
Professionally, I am excited about what is to come. While there have been some hardships personally, I know that some things will get better in time.
Here are some of the things I’m into lately:
Watching Kitboga, a guy who wastes scammers’ time and does RP/improv
Reading a lot of manga, including Waiting for Spring and Ao Haru Ride
Finished The Folk of the Air trilogy — wow, what an ending!
Re-reading The Raven Cycle in preparation (oops, months behind) for Call Down the Hawk. I’m currently on The Dream Thieves.
Trying to cook more
Buying less, using up more of what I have.
