My interview with success story Shannon<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nNaomi: <\/strong>How did you find your current job?
\nShannon: <\/strong>Using the INALJ digest<\/a>, I checked each of the New England states each week. When an opening came up, I applied. I have to say that even though it was expensive, I did offer to fly out from Seattle to interview. I think that’s what got me this job!<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Favorite library you have been to?
\nShannon: <\/strong>My favorite library is the downtown branch of the Juneau Public Library in Alaska. It’s on top of a parking garage, which I think is a genius use of space!<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Favorite book?
\nShannon: <\/strong>Keeping in mind that I’m a children’s librarian, the book(s) that I read again and again are the Chronicles of Narnia<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Favorite thing about libraries\/ library technology?
\nShannon: <\/strong>My favorite thing about libraries is that I truly believe they are the last pure democratic institutions in the United States.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Any websites or feeds or blogs we should be following?
\nShannon: <\/strong>The website I use the most as a public librarian is: www.stopyourekillingme.com<\/a>. It’s a mysteries website that allows you to search by author, character, and location, and lists series in order. I wouldn’t be able to help my patrons half so well or efficiently without it, plus I use it a ton for myself.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Best piece of job hunting advice?
\nShannon: <\/strong>No matter what kind of library job you are applying for, make sure you know exactly who your patrons will be. For example, if you’re applying for a public library job, use the new census website to find out the demographics. If you are applying for a special libraries job, find out exactly who your patrons will be. Use that information to frame the answers to the interview questions very specifically.<\/p>\n

I have a been a children’s librarian for 11 years. I have always worked for big library systems and decided I needed a change! In looking for a single library, I discovered that New England is the place to be. I will now be the Head Children’s Librarian at the Newburyport Public Library! <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
