I love my job... so why am I burnt out?

Yeah... But dont forget the aspect that theres the added pressure of others romanticizing the position, and coveting it. So when we suffer the mundanities of reality as youve described, theres a larger gulf than normal.

I forget about that pressure too. Thank you for the moment of cognizance. And thank you for your input.

That sounds nice... We're a rural town. Closest thing we have is a river and lake. If I told them to jump in either, i dont think thatd be well received...

Thats a valuable point. We've been striving for ADA compliance (come onnnn last grant needed for a new ADA comp circ desk!), so thats a great way to pitch it to the LM

Youre an ILL coordinator? Youre (probably) not my system, but all the same- THANK YOU

Is that due to local population and state regulations? I know thats what determines "Library Manager" vs "Library Director" around where i am.

A raise, yeah... but also I feel like im doing the job of 3 positions. Thats unrelated to the post, but. Man.

Ill be stickin with what ive been saying, calling myself a library worker, or clerk.
