A video of a super cute Chinchilla for no other reason than it made me smile and will hopefully make someone else smile too!

It begins...
It's been a while, but times have been incredibly busy what with moving, decorating, dissertating and most exciting - new job starting!
Following two intense INSET days, my first proper day of work starts tomorrow! First impressions of my first professional library post are good. The staff, both library and teaching, are supportive and friendly. The library itself is a welcoming and relaxing space; there is a wide and varied book stock (including some critical texts I used at university!) which I am very impressed with - it's a stark contrast to the library where I went to secondary school. You can tell that it's a place that has been built up gradually and solidly proving that librarians are extremely dedicated and enthusiastic beings. On the one hand I feel like I have to fill some very big shoes in terms of helping to maintain the library's current status, but on the other hand, I feel confident and am itching to get involved: this will be a place that will give me a great chance to grow as not just a librarian, but a person too.

The effort and passion shown by the librarians I have met over the course of this year have inspired me to be as good as I can at my job and have proved that librarianship is a profession worth preserving.
Today I feel proud and privileged to be a librarian in a great library with supportive colleagues.
