Third day into my work experience and I`m feeling already at home with all my co- workers :D.

I started my day off a little earlier than usual today seeing as how I came in at quarter past nine instead of half nine (Eager maybe ?) but I was greeted with big smiles and happy grins on everyone there, who was meave, Mary and Aisling ( My Supervisor) who were sitting at the main desk talking.

When I was finished putting away my stuff, I was asked by Aisling to look up a series of books in which a teen (or a little younger) wanted to know what the name of the next eight books (yes I said eight) in the series was called, I finally found it on Goodreads (Thank God for them <3 ) and then gave it to Aisling to request it for the girl.

I then did some shelving in the Young Children`s section, this consisted of me running around like a headless chicken wondering what book went where and if I put it in the wrong shelve how would the little people find them, I eventually put them all back where they were (hopefully) suppose to be.

I then did some Pull Listing which consisted of more running around like a headless chicken trying to find books that other libraries wanted but could`nt find or afford, I found of them due to the fact that I knew where they were in general but I was soon confused and lost when it came down to the Dewy numbers and if WE even had them, I then printed off a slip to sellotape on the top and put it in the box for Ronan.

Aisling enlisted me to help her find  a book that went out of publish a little while ago Cough! *Long time ago* Cough called A Little Princess the illustrated version and after many head scratching thinking moments we finally found one on amazon for a little over a fiver !!.

A little while later we opened for the public and I had the funniest experiences with some of the customers, One man tried to give me his blood donor card instead, then thought he lost it, then found it and then asked me what he should do if he does`nt like the movies he has out and I had to try do this without laughing to hard.
 Another man recommended me D.V.D`s I should watch and that he would be asking me if I had watched them next Wednesday.

All in all it was a very good and tiring day :)

This is what my work placement looks like :)
