Today is National Library Employee day so thank your local librarian!! I was thanked by having the most wonderful day. First, free stickers for librarians (see below). Second, work potluck (someone made this amazing bacon dip, oh my!). Third, judging a mustache growing contest between our boss and another GA during our weekly staff meeting.

I dressed up a bit for a presentation for class which, ironically, discussed the fact that librarians in fancy clothes or from a different ethnicity than a patron may make the librarian unapproachable. Those are things that are difficult to change but, one article suggested bringing in local community members as volunteers (to get people to approach the desk) and making sincere attempts at diversity training.
