Lake County Library: First volunteer shift

Today I worked my first volunteer shift at the Lake County Library, pulling requested books from the shelves so that they can be transported throughout our three-county network of branch libraries. I started at just before 3 p.m. and worked for an hour and 45 minutes.

Investigating MLS degree programs

I've begun investigating schools that offer Master's degrees in Library and Information Science. I'm also looking forward to volunteering on Saturdays to help out at the Lakeport library.

We need high school journalism courses

The days that the Oak Leaf arrived in bins was a recurring highlight for me at Santa Rosa Junior College. I read the student newspaper faithfully, frequently issuing submissions and rebuttals. During my final semester at JC, I was one of its student reporters and the paper's arrival took on renewed importance because it meant that I could view my bylines.

Lake County Library: Applied to volunteer

I filled out an application to volunteer at the Lake County Library. It looks like I can help at 3:30 p.m. each Saturday pulling hold requests from the shelves.
