Guest Post: So You Think You Want My Job? (Library Assistant)

[box type="note"]Kat here! Today I have a guest post from Laura Wardle, a library assistant! Take it away, Laura![/box] A typical day: I’m a book-wrangler. Okay, so that’s not my official title, but it sounds good. I work in a small market town library in East Yorkshire, England. Before my supervisor, Helen, and I took over the running of the branch in January, it was stuffy and absolutely brimming, and mostly catered for older folks. But after majorly weeding through our stock and re-arranging the whole library set-up, we now have a branch that’s well organised, inviting, and up-to-date. Most importantly, we’re once again drawing in borrowers of all ages. Obviously what our library needed was some young blood to drag it forward. Seriously, it’d been stuck in some kind of seventies time warp. Some of the stock hadn’t been on loan since before I was born, which was quite terrifying. Yeah.
