So, I feel bad, I haven't written in this thing for a while now, but in my defense work has been crazy. (Hah! and people think librarians don't do anything!)
One of our libraries has been closed while they make the move to another library. (Brand spanking new and right next door) There is only one more week left, making that a total of 6 weeks that the library has been/will be closed.
In the interim, Bookmobile has added 4 extra days a week so there will be some sort of library service available while the library is closed. (Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday) We have 2 vehicles but normally only take out one of them 4 days a week. Now we are putting our older vehicle to work.
Bookmobile has a very small staff: 1 fulltime librarian, 1 partime librarian (That's me!), 1 partime library assistant and 1 partime clerk. The fulltime lib. and the partime lib. assistant and myself have all taken turns on who goes down to the new stop. We meet up with a worker from the other library and stay there for 4 hours.
I am pretty much working at fulltime these past weeks, while still subbing at other libraries, and my random web work. It has been crazy and I haven't had much free time.
It is interesting that many of the library patrons that we have been getting are kind of confused by Bookmobile. They don't really understand how it works. Some of them asked if it is ok to come on, or if children were allowed to come in.
Other frequently asked questions:
"This is all you have?"
Response: "We cram on as much as we can!"
