A Day in the Life

Last summer, there was a meme in the blogosphere called A Day in the Life of a Librarian. It was started in response to questions from library school students and new graduates regarding what, exactly, library staff does at work. A couple dozen library staffers at all levels, from administrators, IT, circ staff, colleges, public libraries, ... agreed to participate. If you Google librarydayinthelife you'll see some of their stories, or go to the Day in the Life Wiki and click on some of the blogs.

Day in the Life II is currently under way as of yesterday, and yours truly is blogging again at her Annot8tions site. If you ever think your day is boring - or exceptional - it is enlightening and funny to see what our compadres across the country are dealing with.

Post your comments - or, better yet, post your own day in the life by clicking on the comments link and adding your two bits. Let's start our own SPL Library Day in the Life meme!
