Reference Desk:
This morning I worked at the reference desk with the library director. I helped several patrons with printing and scanning and also locating material in the library collection and through the catalog. I talked to the Roberta about their wireless system that allows a patron to access the library's wireless internet for one hour, two hours, or three hours. This is a very popular service that was started a few years ago and many patrons use this on daily basic for work, school, or personal use.

Children's Desk:
I spend the rest of the day working in the children's department. I helped out the youth services librarian with the children's storytime. Storytime meets once a week on Tuesday mornings at 10:30am for children ages birth through age five. The program is popular and also has sessions during the school year.
I also helped set up and stayed to help with the "Inner Artist" program at 1:30pm. This program is for elementary aged students and is held every Tuesday during the summer reading program. The program features of picture book that is aimed at an older audience than storytime and is then followed by a craft project. Today was the first program of the summer. Stephanie read a picture book about a kid being a superhero and the children made super hero cuffs out of paper towel rolls. She had all sorts of materials set out on tables for the children to decorate the cuffs with including colored construction paper, stickers, foam pieces, charms, feathers, and markers. Many of these supplies are re-used in the art projects throughout the summer to save money. The "Inner Artist" program went well and kids seemed to have a lot of fun!
Afterwards, Stephanie and I talked a lot about how to create fun children's programs with a small budget and that are fairly easy to prepare for. She usually has all of the projects planned a few months before the program starts. Many of the standard supplies are used at each session, but sometimes extra supplies are need. A lot of the supplies are also donated by parents and teachers in the community.
