People often ask what a typical day in the life of a librarian consists of and the answer is that every day is different, which is one of the reasons I love my job so much. Each week is no different.
For instance this week, we used our creativity, practiced relaxation and learned crime scene investigation skills. What a week!
On Monday, the girls made magazine picture frames by rolling colorful pages from magazines into tubes and gluing them on to a shoebox lid. I was worried they might have trouble but the frames turned out awesome. They are pretty expensive to buy in the store.
Then on Tuesday the tweens relaxed and learned some new yoga techniques. It was the first time for many of them and they all had a great time, especially during the wall hands, which even the librarians did! We were supposed to try it outside but it was too hot.
And finally on Wednesday, all of the teens went to PTI to learn crime scene investigation skills from one of the department instructors there. They learned how to match fingerprints, analyze handwriting samples and determine what evidence was used for a break-in. I learned that I have a rare fingerprint, which only 5% of the world's population has...interesting.
It was a fun week and I'm excited for next week - owl pellet dissection lab in the park and glow-in-the-dark t-shirts!
