Total Hours: 96
Today was our third session of "Contando Cuentos." We had a mix of returning kids and new kids, but overall, we were pleased with the turnout. The success of the program these past few weeks has led to the branch contracting with Araceli to do an 8 week session of bilingual storytimes in the fall as well! I'm really happy to see the library directly responding to that success and actively working towards getting the need for a bilingual storytime met! We read Salta, Ranita, Salta (Jump, Frog, Jump) and afterward, we painted frogs. Surprisingly, it turned out to be the least messy children's painting activity I've ever helped with, so that was nice. Since next week is our last session, I finalized our resource handout after the kids had left and then requested all the José Luis Orozco (the singer whose DVD we put on during the craft section of class) materials we had in the system for a display for next week.
I spent the rest of the shift working on publicity for my fermentation workshop. I added the event to the MPL calendar and designed and printed the posters. It took some tinkering (even with the handy, basic template Trent designed) but I am pleased with the results and I feel like I learned some of the basics of Publisher in the process. I know that Jenna Assmus has been talking to SLIS about putting on a Publisher Workshop in the Fall, which I definitely plan on taking; I feel like even the most basic graphic design skills will be really valuable in my future career. I put out small flyers in the library and posted a big one on the bulletin board, but I now need to start thinking about where I want to strategically put up the rest, which will be on my list of things to do next week.
I can't believe I've reached the 90 hour mark already! And there's still so much on my plate!
