I have (officially) been (finally) a part of Library (freakin' fabulous) World for one month. I am a library aide at University School of Nashville, a K-12 independent school a whisper's throw from Vanderbilt. I am learning so much. The most important thing I'm learning is how to simply learn. I so easily turn on "must-be-doing-something-out-of-the-box-to-show-my-worth" mode. They know my worth. They hired me. I think I'm all thrown off because I technically just completed a Master's and full-time employment is usually what follows. Instead, I have three part-time jobs and two grad courses because, oh yeah! I'm back for another Master's. My "career brain" is confused. I'm back working at a school full-time. Every other time I've been at a school I was a teacher. I had my own class. I ran the show. Um, I am not in charge of this library. I'm in charge of Bryn working to make the library productive and effective, and asking questions to learn everything there is to know about running a stellar library program. 
Meanwhile, I adore the kids. Even the freshmen that have to check-in sometimes twice a day! I love the little bits that get so fired up about what they're reading or what might be coming soon in the next shipment (
Warriors,
Rainbow Magic anyone? More to come on the discrepencies between what I've been dying to recommend to the kiddos because it's all over Horn Book and the blogs, etc. and what they actually are dying to read.) I love being a part of this school family and history. And with over 30,000 titles how could I ever be bored?
I guess I knew this but maybe I forgot?
Tina Louise trained as an actor at the Actors Studio and the Neighborhood Playhouse. After success on Broadway, she went to Hollywood and played in a variety of films. She is best known for her comic turn as the stranded movie star Ginger in the TV series Gilligan's Island. She volunteers for Learning Leaders, a childhood-literacy advocate group in New York City, where she lives.
Still waiting for Julia Roberts to pen her children's book.
