Another Friday

Another Friday, a very quiet one, too. This morning, I helped Jaymi do a program for the Y. She talked about rainforests. She showed them the different layers of the rain forest and read some books about the rainforest and then we all made snakes out of paper plates. It went okay. Some kids were a little too zealous with the watercolor (causing spillage and overpainting) and we were outside so it was really hot, but overall it went well. It's interesting to see how Jaymi handles programs and then to think about how I do it. I'm happy to see that I handle things in similar ways, such as when the kids aren't listening too well. After that short program, we came back to the library. I had another day of sitting at the desk, answering questions and handling Summer Reading prizes. I finished up Little Tykes planning and worked on shelf labels. Very quiet and uneventful day, though we did have some issues with some teen boys in the afternoon (they were trying to enter the library without shirts and misbehaving while they were here). Jaymi dealt with them. I probably should have watched to see how she handled it, but I think it's something I could figure out when necessary. Other than that, nothing terribly exciting. Just a typical day at the library.
