    Speaking a second language is a fantastic asset to have that a lot of public libraries look for, so for those overseas viewers wondering how to get into the library industry in Australia, I would definitely say that is an important skill to have, and an advantage some have over only English speaking folk. Definitely promote that on your resume!

    I've been watching your videos for a while now and you really motivated me to look into librarianship! I finally took the leap and now I'm studying for the Diploma!! 😊Hoping to get a technician position and maybe take up higher education to become a qualified librarian like you. Thank you for the quality videos, it's not easy to find TH-cam videos about librarians, especially based in Melbourne (I'm also from Melbourne too! 😊). I can't express how much you've helped me decide what I want to do in the future, wishing your channel so much blessings ❤

I’ve been curious ever since you mentioned your teaching degree, my niece transitioned from teaching to working in a library and I’m very tempted, but I’m a fair bit older and not sure if I should just hang in there with my part time teaching job until I want to retire early instead. Thanks again!

    I’ve seen this book blanket idea a couple of times on TH-cam now, I’ll be starting my own too. I’m not a big fan of granny squares for some reason so I’ve decided to knit the squares using a mitered square pattern from Ravelry. I’m a new knitter so this will definitely improve my skills as I’m reading along. Looking forward to seeing your blanket grow along with mine. Can’t wait to see your new glasses. You’ll look awesome!

    Hi Ange, Good Street Library! That’s a great idea that you have for your knitted book blanket. I crochet for Wrap With Love and do squares while watching these videos. I am reading The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife by Anna Johnston at the moment and it has a beautiful cover, soft greens, blue, white and a yellow spine so I am going to gather those colours and make a square in those colours. I would make a book blanket for myself along with you but I have so many blankets already and not enough chairs or storage for any more, so I will watch yours grow. Love the colours.

    I’m sure you appreciate being able to park your car at work and not have a long commute in public transport. I used to travel by tram and train into the city each day, when I got a job closer to home and could drive there I couldn’t believe all the hours I had previously wasted each week in travel. This was in the olden days 😉 before the internet and mobile phones and it goes without saying that I always travelled with a book or two each day!

    • @very.casual.librarian
      @very.casual.librarian 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I’m terrified at the idea that the children’s librarian at a public library has not control over the collection.

    • @very.casual.librarian
      @very.casual.librarian 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      She does to a degree. At our service she certainly manages our branch’s children’s collection. The children’s librarians have more control at a branch level.

    • @kristinesharp6286
      @kristinesharp6286 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@very.casual.librarian good. Cause they know the assignments and the hits at story time better than someone offsite or at a book selling company trying to sell collections so the librarian does not have to do that. Also the librarian is the one to defend titles and items in the collection. I am in the U.S. I used to order for the bookmobile the picture books and readers. Cause I did for the kids department at the physical location. But other staff took it out. The book I recall was one in the Walter the Farting Dog series. The staff were worried about complaints and only so many books can fit for the type on the bus. I actually got it for them cause it was a best seller off a list they asked to always get the ones that made the list. The library location had lots of copies. Anyone could pick up a copy gotten through reserve/hold system from the bookmobile stops. But I could see how the staff driving the bus would be in an uncomfortable position. So I didn’t get future tiles of that series for the ones they ‘owned’. I did say it remain in the main building, they also checked books out to the bus from the main library to fill when shelves were not full on the bus. Especially holiday times. Their staff could end up grabbing main location copies. Or someone could return it to the bookmobile and they could end up putting it in the bus as a choice for a later stop that run. I would hate to be in a Walter the Farting Dog situation at the building where I’m to defend something I never bought. I would have known how vaguely that the prior titles checked out well, what the reviews were, etc.. I would hate to be short on copies on a title I knew would be asked about but central ordering decided only 2 copies for my size branch. Not everything is Harry Potter obvious but there are things that need more copies than normally necessary and that is before the wait list on the title begins. Some author’s popularity are neighborhood specific. I quit to stay home, I became a parent later in life. He is just finishing school. As you can probably tell be my examples. I was completely confused by the Seuss incident some years back. Not so much for a publisher stopping the publishing of older titles as that happens all the time no problem. But the fact it was Seuss books, legit ones not just under the label, and more the fact the publisher desired they be pulled from bookstore and library shelves. How are people going to read the titles in question and make their own mind to whether the decision reasonable or not if they can not for free with a copy already on the library shelf? What title is next? At least one of the titles in question was defended in a collection the year or two prior with the help of the ALA. Our library association. So bizarre. If you are going to pitch a fit pick on Seven Lady Godivas. But that isn’t the kids department I’ll leave to adult services. When someone complains I’m professionally bound to defend but people can pressure a publisher and it’s not the government censoring so fine? A patron/customer complaining was not the government either. World has gone goofy. Rocked my world.

    • @very.casual.librarian
      @very.casual.librarian 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It can be so fraught, can’t it?! And issues will arise depending on the individual users of that branch, or local issues… Luckily, the children’s librarian at the public library I was working at had many years of experience and was very much a part of the local community. I think it’s so important to engage with, and to get to know your patrons!

    My mind was blown when I saw that your library has a shelf out in the public area where patrons may collect their reserved items - I've never seen that in my life! The libraries I've worked at all have those shelves behind their circulation desks!

    • @very.casual.librarian
      @very.casual.librarian 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Console game holds are kept behind the desk - sometimes they get stolen! But everything else is on the shelf with the patron’s name on it. It can only be checked out to that patron’s card. Our regular customers just walk in, grab their holds, use the self check out machine, and they’re on their way in 5 mins! 😊

    Excellent choice of reading for a summer holiday at the beach 😊 When I saw the rock pools it made me remember The Shell Seekers by Rosamunde Pilcher, I must read it again soon. I hope you’re enjoying your break and I look forward to hearing all about your exciting news.

      I needed a good thick long story for summer - I was in the mood to be pulled into a long story! ❤️ Plus it’s set in a sea-side village. Really enjoying it so far 😊

    I would love to meet Jackie French after just finishing The Captain’s Wife and loving it. Can’t wait to read more of her books. Thankyou for your vlogs. I just discovered you in the last few months and excited to find a fellow Aussie doing book tube instead of the usual overseas ones. Looking forward to hearing about your new job next year and following along with your book adventures. Have a great Christmas.
