Day in the Life of a Librairan Day 3
I took these notes today as part of The Day in the Life project, if you would like to read more please see the wiki, if you’re interested in how it all got started read this post
Stayed up way too late reading the night before (I guess you never grow out of this!), so really need the coffee this morning!
First thing in the morning, prepare for and attend Branch Manager meeting at our Mildred L. Terry Branch. Its our newest one, we haven’t even had the grand opening ceremony yet. This meeting took up most of the morning so go look at the pictures of the branch for something fun! 
Grab something to eat on the way back my office
check email, check twitter
Teen Programs Meeting – I’m there to find out what they need/want from a Digital Branch, good information
Run downstairs between meetings to check on something for tomorrow, run into a staff member I want to be a member of Super Friends, talk with him about it, he’s in! Hurray!
Database Committee Meeting- we’re looking at what we have and what we need to add over the next year. It goes really well.
Grab peaches on the way home. I am really tired tonight and decide this should be my night away from the computer, I make myself take one once a week.
