Round 8 {Library Day in the Life Project}
Once again, my friend Bobbi at Librarian by Day is coordinating the Library Day in the Life Project. The Library Day in the Life Project is a semi~annual librarian and library worker share fest.

The staff is small, only 6 people, so there are a lot of opportunities to spread our wings and be creative with providing services for our students.

Library Day in the Life Project Round 6
The 6th round of the Library Day in the Life Project is hosted by Bobbi at Librarian by Day and will begin on Monday, 24 January. I look forward to sharing my experiences with you all and reading about the lives of my fellow librarians. My hope is that by participating in this project that you all will see how vital library services are to your communities and that you will step forward and allow your voices to be heard when government officials consider slashing services.
