Practicum - Week 13

Dates: Monday, November 20th

Monday, November 20th
I finished weeding the 330s and began work on the 340s (Law).  I also helped perform some everyday tasks such as helping patrons locate books and printing from the main computer terminals.  I also helped a young teen learn how to use the library's automated checkout system using their library card and pin number. 



Weekly Reflection:
Last week, the second FAFSA workshop presentation was conducted and there was another low turnout.  Only two teens showed up this time.  When reflecting on both workshops poor attendance, marketing for the events could have been significantly better.  Perhaps verbally informing teens as they walk into the Teen Department area a few days beforehand would help.  Also asking teens directly to show up and making better connections with regular visiting patrons could prove beneficial.  Another strategy could be to repeatedly post notices and reminders on the Library Teen Department's social media pages days before the actual events occur.
