My first day!

I am now officially a librarian, and no longer a teacher!

The day began with finding somewhere to lock up my bike, first challenge met when given key to bike shed. Second challenge was logging onto the computer - visited and met the IT men (important people to know!). It had started surprisingly well!

I met my Library Assistant, who is fantastic. We were both relieved to see we would get on and she seemed excited about my ideas.

I have made appointments with management system suppliers and security gate people, and I had an online demo from Eclipse today, so am really trying to push to get this done asap.

I had some children pop in, desperately asking when the library would be open, which was nice. I already have some who are waiting for me to advertise for student librarians, which is a positive start.

I left feeling really good, and feeling that I have made the right choice.
