Today I shadowed at the reference desk again, this time with head of Reference Sharon and tech specialist Brandon. Brandon is new to the library and working the reference desk, so Sharon reviewed a number of print reference resources, including Haines Directory for the County. Over the course of the night, we discussed the dynamics and challenges of working in a small, rural community like Perry. Sharon is a selector for nonfiction materials and therefore strives to maintain a balanced collection. When weeding, she intentionally keeps materials with low circulation if they provide a minority opinion. I also continued to input community surveys.
