The Perks Of Working At A Library.

I have worked at a library for roughly three months now and I absolutely love it (most of the time anyway). The funny thing about this job is that it was the first job I had applied for and my family constantly reassured me that "most people don't get the job they first applied". Just like most things, I didn't get my hopes up for this one either (just makes things easier). The day of the interview I was so nervous. I walked in through the front doors of the library and straight up to the front desk. They handed me a paper with the job description and some other papers to fill out. I sat in a chair furthest back from the front desk. One of the three women came out and got me from where I had been sitting. They asked me several questions and they told me that they were impressed with my resume for a first time interviewee. :)
When I got the call that I had got the job I couldn't believe it! I was so ecstatic. Before I could start though I had to go to the city office to talk to the human resources lady. I had to fill out a bunch more papers and watch two training videos before heading to the library for my first shift there. My boss ,Deb, greeted me that day and introduced me to every that works there. Then she spent a couple hours walking me through every and I mean EVERY thing at that library. Talk about being overwhelmed! I consider myself very blessed to have this job. There are so many great things about working at a library.
  • I make more than minimum wage so that's a huge plus :)
  • I have the MOST amazing co-workers.
  • I can check out books and not get charged late fees!
  • I get to work with one of my best friends from last summer. We have days were we do say some of the stupidest things but it is always a great time. 
  • I'm starting to grow attracted to some of the little kids there. 
  • I got to wear this AWES0ME name tag :)
