Today I got to spend the morning with other teen librarians at the fabulous Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh for the teen summer reading training.
These meetings are often much needed doses of support and reality.
Sometimes I get very frustrated and think that I'm not doing my job to the best of my ability... My participation numbers are too low. I'm not conducting enough outreach. I haven't found the perfect time and day for programs.
Then I go to meetings with other teen librarians. We talk. We vent. We share ideas. And I realize that we all have the same problems. It's not just me. It's not just my library.
I love my job and after coming back from these meetings, I often realize I am grateful to have such a wonderful job, awesome teens and supportive colleagues.
My name is Carrie and I am a teen librarian.
