After comparing my reflections on what I believe my library experience was going to be like and what my library experience actually was, my attitude is very much the same: I love the library. Libraries are very fun places to work, and I’m very glad that I pursued this certification.
After working in the elementary schools, I realize how Library Media Specialist do much more with classes than read books. Going to a parochial elementary school, I never had a certified librarian. When I went to the library, a parent volunteer would just read a story to the class. With a certified Library Media Specialist, students learn much more about how to be a successful patron of the library. There are learning goals besides developing a life long desire to read.
My anticipation of what it is like at the high school level was correct because I had to most experience. One of the biggest things that I did not realize was how many times I would be interrupted. It has been a challenge to be able to start and finish a project. Often, I find myself flustered and forgetting that I had started something.
Most of my practicum was finished at Marshall Public Schools and not in Clinton like I had anticipated. Therefore, my thoughts of what would specifically happen at Clinton, I was not able to see to fruition. Overall, I have enjoyed my practicum and look forward to what the future hold in the Library.
