If anyone needs me this summer I will be at job number 2 a little bit more. I still plan to enjoy my summer break but I still have bills to pay as well. I am hoping I can use my break to knock a good dent into my TBR pile but I have found working at a library tends to make my TBR pile bigger not smaller 🤔 #teacheroffduty #libraryclerk

When you walk out of work with 3 out 4 of the various book club's picks for April...guess I know what I will be doing over my spring break 🤦‍♀️😬📚

No one else is in the building right now so I am going to enjoy a maskless few minutes while I can. Do I like wearing one...NO. Will I wear one without complaining...YES because that is what I need to do at my job (both of them) to continue working.

Now, back to trying to figure out what books to order for my sections next 🤔

Our summer reading program had our kick off this week. The theme this year is "Reading Colors Your World" so we had a tie dye mask station. It has been fun seeing how everyone's turned out.

It's been a rough couple of days at work (job #1). Now, here at job #2 I am have to much time alone with my thoughts. Hoping my audiobook can help take my mind off of things because right now all I want to do is cry.

CoverToCoverGirl Sending hugs! Hope things improve quickly. 4y

Come-read-with-me Hope things are looking up. Alone with my thoughts is rarely a good place for me to be. 💕 4y

jackilynn @CoverToCoverGirl & @Come-read-with-me thanks for your kind words. It may be a while before things really start to get better here. So much hurt & anger in the area right now. There are some instances where working in a school really sucks. 4y

Come-read-with-me @jackilynn Can‘t imagine how hard that must be. Healing needs to happen on so many levels these days and schools must be a microcosm of the world at large. Be well 💕 4y

CoverToCoverGirl Your daily stress and worries must be enormous.. wish I could help. I own and operate a small business and it‘s extremely difficult, but I think your situation must be doubly worse. Be safe and well. 💕 4y

Looks like the library is going to start being a lot more lonely again. And just when things were starting to pick up a bit, yet again we had to switch back to curbside 😩😭

CoverToCoverGirl We were put in the yellow zone this week, so we might be heading that way too....curbside is an exhausting endeavour at our independent bookstore.. I‘m not sure if readers really realize what a detailed, complex operation it is! Even so I still love my job! I hope things go smoothly and get back to as normal as possible, as soon as possible! 😷 (edited) 4y

jackilynn @CoverToCoverGirl curbside is definitely a lot more exhausting than I originally thought it would be plus it takes all the fun out of browsing. 4y

LibrarianRyan At least your open. I‘m jelly. My public lib is closed because too many staff have pos tests or have to quarantine. Even my library is going mostly WFH for most position. As red we rotate days we go I. And are on desk the entire day. I go I tomorrow. 4y

jackilynn @LibrarianRyan I am thankful that we have been able to be open. I know not everyone can be. I can only imagine what it is like. I know my school has gone remote because we have had too many staff test positive or have to quarantine. It is a crazy, scary world we live in right now. 4y

Working hard or hardly work 🤷‍♀️😜

All kidding aside, I was on vacation for the last 5 days so I do have a lot of work to catch up on lol

emz711 You work at the library? Fun! 4y

Mrs_B Seeing your picture I am getting library FOMO. I miss my library! Hope it‘s able to reopen soon. 4y

jackilynn @emz711 it can be fun. It has proven quite dangerous for my reading habits though. I get easily distracted by all the shiny new books that keep coming in so my TBR keeps growing lol 4y

jackilynn @Mrs_B my library has slowly been reopening but we still have a long way to go. Hopefully yours will start reopening soon. 4y

A slow night at work. I miss seeing/talking to all of our patrons. While I am thankful to be back open in some capacity this curbside pick up just isn't cutting it. I am running out of things to keep me busy. 🤔😳

Mirazzles I am sure your patrons miss you guys too! It‘s been a tough time but we will get through it. Thank you for being at work 😊💛 4y

Library haul (and just in time since I returned my other books). I don't know which one to start 1st.

*ps Apparently someone wasn't to happy that I was taking pictures of books instead of him hence the paw as he tried to photobomb*
