My first day in work.



Hi Everyone :) Roisin here and I am are going to be blogging about my experience in work. 

I started off my day at 9:30am standing outside the Library honestly very nervous but very excited to start working with something I love and to experience what work is really like.

When the doors were open for me I introduced myself to one of my Supervisors named Ann, I shook her hand as enthusiastically as possible and was shown into the library, I was then shown around it and told what each section shelved (as in books).
After this I was told about the Dewy system in which there was a Dewy number on every book (except  Young adults and children) and if you wanted to find it all you had to do was find the Dewy number associated with it and HEY PRESTO there it would be.

The Dewy system came in very handy as afterwards I had to shelf books back into there right place for the next person to find them :), I felt very proud of doing this because I was a little confused at first but soon was putting everything back into their rightful place and knew how to do it.

I was then asked to find books that we had that other people in different libraries wanted, there was some that I knew like the wizard of oz, fallen, The Recruit and Divine madness and a few adult books that I have never heard of, I then had to print of a slip of paper and place it on the book for Ronan to collect and deliver.

We than opened up for the public and from then on  I signed books and D.V.D`s  in and out for people
and stacked books back to where they were suppose to be.

I finished at 3:30pm and was very happy about what I had done.
