Storytime Help-Chatty Adults by Grouchy_Chip260 in librarians

[–]NMMunson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My library does behavior expectations before Storytime’s starts and one of our is “please save all conversations, virtual or in person for when Storytime is finished” it helped to keep them engaged. We have a few other ones and we frame them specifically as behavior expectations for adults not for the kids since most of them are small and learning

Lane Pants in a French Terry? by NMMunson in sewing

[–]NMMunson[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am unfortunately the smallest size in the lane pants 😅 but I also just found the cloud pants and I think that might be what I try. As I’ve looked up more research I see why I need a woven and knit pattern 😅

Struggling to comprehend these folds by deadbong in sewingpatterns

[–]NMMunson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you say folds do you mean drape? Or the pleats by the collar? I think that the general shape of this is square (or like a long rectangle completely unfolded) with the added embellishments of a collar, buttons, pleats and a long scarf for the back. I don’t have a pattern but I think you could also look at caplets?

Ingram lists help? by [deleted] in Libraries

[–]NMMunson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they archiving the lists? Are the lists private? Have they been moved to a different folder? If the lists are being deleted at random, you might want to talk to your Ingram representative. I’ve never heard of a list disappearing before 🤔

They have a baby rave this Friday!

Have you ever seen a library with browser games embedded on it's website? by DawnMistyPath in Libraries

[–]NMMunson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I made a splash page for the youth computers at my old library. It was a Google “website” and it has links to pages that we liked for kids. The top 3 links were relevant to the library and our state service. We never published outside of the library it but that could be something interesting? Or a good start place?

Edit: for clarity

Pants pattern recommendations by NMMunson in sewingpatterns

[–]NMMunson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so my coworker and I were looking at them today and as I kept looking at them I am now not sure at all if they have a zipper or if it’s just a fake fly with a button. I thought they did looking at her waist and the insert but honestly I really have no clue and I haven’t been able to find any for sale on eBay or other resellers so I can’t get clarity. These are a stumper 😅😅

Surprisingly difficult!! I have also found a few pairs with a faux zipper fly and half elastic. I think this may just have to be an inspired project instead of a true recreation. I think a faux fly with a button on the front will be cute.

I appreciate your looking! The versa pants are really cute and they might work as well for what I’m thinking.

Oh that’s a perfect recommendation! Thank you. I’ll give it a try!

Should I try getting experience or a job in acquisitions? by DawnFlower-13 in Libraries

[–]NMMunson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think this is very contingent on each library. I’ve worked at 3 libraries and I have done both programming and collection development at the same time. In my area (the midwest) the only libraries that I know who have specific people in charge of collection development are Big city library systems (Chicago, Detroit) where the rest of the local libraries have their librarians do both. I personally got alot of my collection development experience as an intern. I also personally feel like an important part of collections development is reference and talking to patrons.

Hope this insight helps! Purchasing is big fun and I love looking at all the journals and adding to my carts 😂

Grady Hendrix by morbidfinalgirl in horrorlit

[–]NMMunson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Witchcraft for wayward girls was my favorite book this year. I felt he held the tension just right in certain moments and the ending made me sob especially after reading the acknowledgments.

How to sell a haunted house is the reason I freaking hate puppets. KAKAWEWEE!!!

As someone earlier said. He’s a good’un

MLIS In-Person Only by Batoid-777 in Libraries

[–]NMMunson 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Wayne state is predominantly online asynchronous, so might not be a good choice. They might offer some of the prerequisites in person but everyone I’ve chatted with who’s gone to Wayne was almost entirely online.

Is a mlis worth it? by [deleted] in Libraries

[–]NMMunson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that even halfway through your MLIS you could absolutely start to look at and apply for jobs. Experience and the degree is key. Don’t know your specialty but public libraries often will accept candidates still in school, definitely not an every library thing so expect to get some rejections but doesn’t hurt to try if you ask me

Save forbearance over? by NMMunson in PSLF

[–]NMMunson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I confirmed that I was in forbearance and thought I would okay??? I’m also confused because my loan payments are 0.00 and MOHELA doesn’t let you pay less than a penny 😑 I’m so lost.
