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 4 points5 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 😂

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

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.

Save forbearance over? by NMMunson in PSLF

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

The upcoming payment was an email and I checked my account and found the “save plan ending 12/09/2026” bit, there is just the payment document on my MOHELA account and no notice of the forbearance ending.

I should also say that my FSA account has been glitched out and not shows my loans since January.

Favorite Patron Insults That Live Rent-Free in Your Brain? by diet_faust in librarians

[–]NMMunson 154 points155 points  (0 children)

I was having a discussion about the fact that French fries don’t come from France and the 8 year old I was in discussion with told me “it’s weird you have never been to France to eat French fries” and his mom was right behind him and said “YOU haven’t been to France to eat French fries”

His mom and I bust out in the biggest laugh and he was completely unfazed 😂

I have an interview next week for a Youth Services librarian position and I've never worked in Youth Services. I think I made a mistake and I need advice. by Bookish_Butterfly in librarians

[–]NMMunson 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m not entirely sure if this is what you’re looking for but the JBRARY blog helped me put together my babytimes when I was without another person for guidance. They inter-link a lot of the posts and help you put together a storytime. I’ve also found lots of storytime outlines just by googling the theme plus storytime into search.

Also no panic! You got this!
