Getting Started!

Well this is my first blog and I am sure everyone feels a little awkward starting one of these things. I am working on my certification for Lib_SCI and am currently doing my internship with NEISD. I really like everything about a library so far. You get to interact with the kids and parents in a positive way. In addition you get to handle a wide range of activities. I also love the fact that I work with and around books all the time. I have always loved the smell of books and still…

A Little About Me

Hi Everyone!

I know most of you from class know me already. But here goes another introduction. I will revamp it. I am Ruth Castillo- Rangel. I just go the new last name :) over the holidays.

My Blog Introduction

I'm very happy to be a part of this class and a part of this amazing program here at Sam Houston for Library Science. My appreciation for library professionals grows as each day passes. There is so much more to being a librarian than just shelving and processing books. I'm really lucky to be a part of such a great program to become a librarian myself. I'm looking forward to graduation and, hopefully soon, to becoming a librarian myself.

So, now that I've shared some…
