An update, I guess, for the curious.
The horrible daycare lady has started coming to my story time again.
My boss never spoke to her about hitting the kids in the library.
I’ve looked up the agencies so that if/when it happens again I’ll be ready to report anonymously–with or without his say so.
Last Monday daycares and schools were closed for MLK day so we had 3 families show up for the Movers and Shakers storytime and I was so embarrassed. Since she’s the only one who shows up to this program and my boss made me structure it around her–its complete crap. Like I said. I was embarrassed to do it and encouraged the families to stop in to my more literacy focused storytime during the week. She wasnt even there so I couldnt point at her and say this is not representative of my storytime skill set or philosophy. This is all because of HER. We did a lot of singing and dancing and I ad libbed a lot of literacy tips and tricks so hopefully it wasnt as bad as I know it was. Whats annoying is that this is the program that my boss advertises the most even though I hate it.
I havent made a leveled reading list for that kid. When he asked me about it I told him the kid never brought it up again so I wasnt pushing it on him. He seems content to let it go, for now.
Theres a library, less than 5 minutes from my house, thats losing its Children’s Librarian in a couple of weeks. Its part of the system that Im in now. Im considering trying to apply for it, if only so that I wont be working with my manager anymore. Im trying to hook up with the Childrens librarian who is leaving so that I can get her advice, learn what kind of manager he is, if I even have a shot with how my manager has been trashing my reputation throughout our system.
For the last few days we’ve had extra security at my library to make up for the gun and the threat, but that ends tomorrow. Im sure itll be fine though, although Im still a bit nervous because I dont know what the kid looks like.
And thats it.
I thought I’d give a little update–I was looking on my fanwall and saw all of the rants and thought that I should post an update when Im not losing my freaking mind in rage.
