The Mobile Librarian - an update
I worked my first Sunday evening in Coleman-Morse last night. I had a lot of curious onlookers peek into my space to say hello. I even managed to answer about 4-5 questions last night. I spent most of the evening walking around "Co-Mo" passing out bookmarks and writing pens to all students present. They were of course a hit, as the semester progresses, I can anticipate more students seeking out my assistance.

Today was my first day in O'Shay. I was warmly received by students in the building. I gave out more pens, and distributed flyers to various departments about the Mobile Librarian project. I answered three reference questions, and answered 2 general information questions. This was fantastic! I am grateful to Beverly Love-Holt who has warmly received me in the office and made sure that the scholars present know what my purpose is as the Mobile Librarian. As a result, I have been invited to join a discussion session with lunch included on Friday afternoons. This will also give me another opportunity to engage the scholarly community in a warm and inviting community atmosphere.

It is really a blessing to be in this place.......
