anyone here a public librarian in michigan? i ran across a weird requirement on a job posting today for a professional license and that's not a thing i'm familiar with. is it something i should get? am i going to have trouble finding jobs if i don't? or is it sort of optional?
every year at my library we're allowed to wear t-shirts during the summer that correspond to the summer reading theme
so for "libraries rock!" we get to wear band shirts
i have a lot of band shirts already but what if.......i buy more......that counts as working right.........

My friend wants to join mastodon and doesnβt know what instance to join. Anyone know if there is a critical #geography or radical #archiving / #library instance?
A patron came in yesterday an checked out 151 items from the library. Nearly $2400 worth of materials. We're holding our breath hoping that it all comes back. π¬
Okay guys. When Iβm paying attention, Fridays is when I try to follow someone not already federated with tootplanet to bring someone else interesting into our federation.
Iβm looking for someone fun in the #gardening ( #garden #homesteading #planting ) sphere, in honor of today being all about plants in some ways of looking at things. Also because I canβt plant anything yet, because itβs still snowing!

Any suggestions?

Next week, I'll be presenting on my dad's quest to digitally preserve and remaster his 1980s comic book series at Personal Digital Archiving Conference 2018.
A good meeting agenda is worth all. the. things.

july are you even trying
(they're all very nice and relatively competent but the fact that only one of them has solid tech experience yet our DIG committee is me + almost every man who works here despite my workplace being overwhelmingly non-male is A Thing for sure)
me: leaving this job in a couple months
also me: desperately worming my way onto a team to help redesign our intranet
look it needs help okay it would be cruel to let the whole thing be handled by the few men who work here which would absolutely happen by default otherwise
Sometimes all you can really do is show up, do what absolutely need to get done, see what else you might be able to do, and generally take care of yourself. And that's ok. That's very much ok.
happy national library workers day, nobody knows what we do but we sure as hell do it for them anyway
