Things Library School Didn't Teach Me

Just a few things that Library School didn't prepare me for....

1.How to clean the cage of a tarantula

2. How to work a copier (seriously, can I just get a class on how to operate office equipment?)

3. How to change a roll of laminate on a laminator

4. How to deal with the public....particularly the angry public

5. Tornadoes (i.e. policy and how to handle the public)

6. Summer Reading (I don't think anything can really prepare you for this madness, but a little warning would have been nice)

This list will continue to grow over the years. Feel free to add your own!

P.S. Yes, I did have to clean the cage of a tarantula. Children's Departments have pets and their cages have to be cleaned....
