Practicum woots!

Hey all,

I know that between school and life, my blogging is pretty much a fail, but I will kindly update you on the progress of my practicum experience thus far.

I'm doing my practicum at Hastings Public Library and at Hastings College. I don't start at HC until the middle of September. I'm excited for that because my first order of business is to plan a mock book burning for banned book week. GET EXCITED!!! I love banned book week and I certainly love the idea of mock book burnings. Never the real thing though. That would be bad.

My current work has me at the Hastings Public Library. I'm doing some awesome fun stuff with programming and collection development. By programming and collection development, I mean doing weeding and planning programs. I LOVE weeding though, so this is a brilliant use of my time. I'm currently weeding the YA collection. We have to move the whole collection from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor. That means about 500 to 700 books have to go. Easy peasy.

The program that I'm developing is a pub quiz at the local watering hole. It's going to be awesome because I get to run it and I have friends that are going to fill the seats for me, giving me the numbers I need to have a successful program. Nothing says love like filling your seats for you. That's what real friendship means.

I'll probably throw up all the papers and other things i've written up in the last two semesters just so that you can see what I have to say about stuff. Also, I'll put up all my fliers that I'm making for my practicum.
