What a traumatic day I'm having. Currently I'm in the middle of two book displays...TWO. Both of them so hard and tasking to complete. The first one is a display for food books, aptly titled Food, GLORIOUS, Food. What with Thanksgiving right around the corner and Christmas, too, I thought our aspiring young chefs at Uni might like some cookery books to peruse. I've managed to cull fiction, non-fiction, and graphic novels for the display. But, THEN, when I came in to work today, my thoughtful co-worker, Paul, had placed a copy of Michael Pollan's Cooked on the circ desk for me. He knew it would be good for the display, and he knew I would like to look through it, too. I do enjoy Michael Pollan immensely, but now all I want to do is read the book, not work. Oh, woe is me. Librarian problems!
Then, after shifting some displays around, we now have room for THREE different displays to be going at once. Fun, yes? Well, sure, but NOW I have to come up with a new Author Spotlight display. Supervisor Amy suggested Neil Gaiman, which will result in one of the most well-rounded displays I've done, since it will include novels, graphic novels, and picture books. Neil Gaiman? Really!? I have to spend the day looking up information on Neil Gaiman, the man who encourages parents to always read to their children, and everyone to read, read, READ as much as they can. I also have to look up images of him for the display signage?
UGH! This job is ridiculous! Librarian problems ALL DAY, son!
Here's to a better day tomorrow, Library Diary,
