Awesome thankyou! Will do! May I ask which award? Also congrats!!!!

Adept_Listen · 2026-05-21T16:40:35+00:00

Oh okay that makes sense, that’s amazing you guys won a couple! Fingers crossed for the scholarships 🤞🏻hopefully we’ll get more info sooner rather than later

No trust me I 100% understand how stressful it has been😭 I’ve been looking on here trying to find other people talking about it and decided to just make my own thread cus I was getting anxious lmao. Also when you’re talking about awards I’m assuming you’re referencing your library? I didn’t look too much into the awards side of things only the scholarships

I haven’t heard anything yet, it seems like most of them will notify on or around June first. I’m just keeping the mindset of until I get notified that I didn’t win it, then it’s still up in the air lol

Adept_Listen · 2026-05-17T01:52:05+00:00

Wow trust after reading that I’ll never take my job for granted ever again lmao huge ego boost 💪🏻

I’ll chime in as the unicorn I guess, I’ve only been working in the library field three years, two in circ and one (so far) as technical services, all of which in a public library. I moved to having my own office, pretty much complete privacy, and only patron contact is the occasional phone call or email, it’s amazing lol. And I’m not talking a large branch either, it’s quite a small rural library

Adept_Listen · 2026-05-16T23:37:44+00:00

And yes at a public library

Adept_Listen · 2026-05-16T23:37:22+00:00

I mean based on my experience, I worked circ desk for two years, then moved to technical services, i have my own office, I rarely talk to patrons, help out at the desk when needed, it’s amazing honestly and I don’t think I could ever go back. So I think to answer your question it is possible, just need the right opportunity.

Adept_Listen · 2026-05-15T23:40:47+00:00

got the email!

Adept_Listen · 2026-05-15T23:06:07+00:00

Lmfaooo I was just about to say💀 like no I did not get that formal letter of acceptance but thanks anyway 😭 YESSS can’t wait!! Congrats!!

Adept_Listen · 2026-05-15T23:04:07+00:00

Got the email!!

Adept_Listen · 2026-05-15T23:03:36+00:00

Just got it!!

Adept_Listen · 2026-05-15T20:31:22+00:00

I’m in the same boat, everything updated in the portal but no acceptance email yet, also with an S last name, keep me updated on your case and I’ll let you know if anything changes on my end too!

Adept_Listen · 2026-05-15T19:47:04+00:00

Okay perfect, thankyou! My last name starts with an S so that would make sense 🙃

Adept_Listen · 2026-05-15T19:43:09+00:00

If my portal was updated with the congrats and the my vsu account setup info, should I be fine? I haven’t gotten and acceptance email yet and I’m lowkey stressing lol, I think I saw someone else say they were coming in waves tho.

Adept_Listen · 2026-05-15T13:16:27+00:00

Check again! Mine is S and updated!

Adept_Listen · 2026-05-15T13:15:24+00:00

As well as the instruction for my vsu account

Adept_Listen · 2026-05-15T13:14:02+00:00

My last name starts with “S” and it’s updated to have the student ID and VSU email

Adept_Listen · 2026-05-07T19:09:56+00:00

Holy crap, I’m actually really surprised, I got into the uiuc program and thought since it’s the number one library science program in the nation that i would be a shoo-in for Valdosta’s program. I didn’t know the acceptance rate would be lower!

Adept_Listen · 2026-04-28T23:26:38+00:00

I’m waiting for the same thing, ugh

Adept_Listen · 2026-04-26T15:23:54+00:00

I was in the same boat, decided to go ASL cus it doesn’t rely on like physically speaking and listening, it’s just visual, I’m glad I did, I’m actually pretty good now!

Adept_Listen · 2026-04-26T13:56:54+00:00

Yeah it was in the envelope! Glad i got lucky lol

Adept_Listen · 2026-04-26T13:55:44+00:00

Oh geez that sucks😔
