Let's talk a little about who I am and what I do.
I've worked in libraries my whole life. When I was little I would spend my summers helping my step-mother at the branch library she ran in upstate New York. I helped with everything I could! Circulation, cataloging, shelving, even a few programs. I have fond memories of putting together my first ever storytime at that library. (We read The Little Mouse. the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear. Still a favorite of mine!)
I started working in the Virginia Beach Public Library about 6 years ago. I started out as a Clerk/Library Aide where a few coworkers took me under their wing. I was given a few small opportunities to help out with programs, just enough to get my foot in the door. When I became a part time Information Specialist I, I slowly began nudging the door open, asking for more and more program opportunities. My biggest achievement was WWSOC (the Windsor Woods Summer Otaku Club). We only got 6 meetings during two short summer months, but the popularity grew every year.
Now I work as a full time Information Specialist II at the Meyera E. Oberndorf Central Library. I've done storytimes for ages ranging from 6 months to 5 years, as well as programs for children, teens, and families. I love my job! I can't wait to share it with you all! I hope to review some of my past programs and storytimes as well as keeping you posted on current and upcoming events.
