I had no plans for another post this week, but yesterday was such an extraordinary day full of Hermionish activities! I spent the better part of the day at Caro Area District Library doing my reading for LIS 6210...and, of course, a bit of exploring in the stacks. What a lovely library! There was just enough noise -- not too quiet or too loud, comfortable chairs, big enough tables to spread out my materials, friendly staff and patron-population.
I am loving LIS 6210 thus far. I have always heard that Dr. Neavill makes cataloguing look like a form of art. Now, firsthand, I am beginning to see it. Brilliant.
And now onto an internship opening, posted on the listserv, that made me ponder and sigh:
