Checking one off the list…now what?

It’s still a strange feeling for me to finally be working at a library.  For so long, getting a library job was constantly at the top of my “To Do” list.  Now that I’ve achieved that goal, I’m starting to realize that I need to come up with something new to work on.

One of my secondary goals has always been to write for the various communities that I’m part of, and my output there has definitely increased.  However, I’m also getting excited because I think this is the right time to put into action a plan I’ve had brewing for quite some time.  The objective?  Learn everything!

Okay, maybe not everything.  But some time ago I got the idea of going through the non-fiction section at the library near my house, starting at the 000’s, and picking books that interest me.  That would be my starting point to start learning more about a broad range of subjects, and delving deeper wherever I feel like.  It seems a little ambitious, but after all, I do need a new goal.

What can I say?  I’m addicted to learning!

Moving is complete; now on to vacation…

We’ve successfully moved to Omaha, Nebraska, although we’ve yet to finish unpacking our (many, many) books.  Everything else is nicely on track, but right now I have more interesting things going on: a long weekend vacation in Orlando, Florida!

Okay, I’ll admit that it’s somewhat nerdy to be sitting in an Orlando hotel room (where the weather is sooo much nicer than in the Midwest) at a computer, but I am a librarian, after all.  Nerdy is what I do.

Even so, before too long I promise to get outside and enjoy the snow-free weather.  Even us stuffy librarians like fresh air and sunshine!
