Traveling Librarian

Can you believe it, I am writing (actually typing) a blog post. It has been...well I do not know how long it has been since my last post but here is one now.

I am at the Holiday Inn in Cumberland, MD. My first outreach opportunity in my new position.

I have been at my new job since Tuesday September 4th and am really enjoying it. Most of my time is spent meeting the management, their staff and learning about what their departments do.. In the free time I do have I have been looking to see what conferences are coming up and whether or not I can attend as an exhibitor.

I have already managed to spend some of my library's money for the Maryland Nurses Association Conference in Linthicum, MD, October 18 & 19th. Speaking of new cities in Maryland, as I said earlier, I am in Cumberland, MD. My coworker Stefanie and I are here to attend a Nursing Excellence conference in the western part of the state. There are librarian from Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and I am sure others but have not met them yet.

This evening we had dinner with the conference organizers and some of the presenters. What a hoot they were. Stefanie and I went in with low expectations since we do not know the attendees but were pleasantly surprised when they starter cracking great medical jokes that would most likely offend members of the general public.

Tomorrow should be a good day as I am looking forward to doing the part of my job I love best and meeting new colleagues.

I hope to post more often but since my job is still is that state of flux begin so new I am not sure what I will have to say. Yes, believe it or not, I can be at a loss for words.

Until next time...
