Hi. I'm the Moonlit Librarian.
Moonlight: verb; to work at an additional job after one's regular, full-time employment, as at night. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/moonlight)
I'm a full-time librarian at a regional cooperative which serves many public, school, and school/public libraries. My job there is web design and maintenance for libraries that don't have the resources to make their own web sites, and management of the digital audiobook and eBook collections for many of the cooperative's libraries. I also worked on an LSTA grant this past year, which had the goal of using technology to attract teens into their local libraries.
I've also been contracted by a local charter school to design their new library. It's being built this summer as part of their elementary wing. And it's mine to design! It will be serving roughly 240 students, Kindergarten through twelfth grade. The school has some books from an older collection that closed a few years back, and I have a $10,000 book budget to round out the collection. This exciting experience will likely lead to a job as the school's librarian. And since not many librarians get to build a library from scratch, this will probably be the focus of this blog.
So, welcome to my blog.
