Day 1 of Training

INTERESTING!!! That's what I can say about being a helper at the library he he he...

First I was introduced to everybody who was there, then I had to wait for my trainer for about 10 minutes. She came and then showed me around the place. She told me about how they organized the shelves and the books on the shelves. Then she told me about the process of putting the books to the shelves: they had to find out what the books were, then they had to put plastic covers and bar code label and some other label. Then they had to register the books to the bar code machine before putting them on the shelves. Old books were put in their small warehouse. It was COOL to know all these things!

My first task was to return the returned books to the shelves. Then I had to organize Christmas books on a special shelf. Then I was told how to use the bar code machine as they took out some old books from the warehouse. Then I was told to stamp plenty of old cassettes with the label "taken out".

So it's been FAR busier than my other two training experiences. I just hope it keeps up he he he he...well, even if I don't have too much to do on other days, I can always read something as they have SO MANY books he he he he...

Anyway, let me share some more pics taken from last weekend!

First pic: this is something I WANT for myself!!! See that red sled where the little girl is sitting? I WANT ONE!!! I want to sit on it and slide down the snowy hill one day he he he...Actually, it's also VERY practical to drag your son/daughter on the sled while going out, unless your kid acts up and runs away HA HA HA HA HA...


Second pic: The Kitinen bridge (near downtown Sodankylä) and its frozen river.


Third pic: These birds are flying around the bridge-river area and then they landed on the frozen river for a little while. It was a BEAUTIFUL sight as they flew here and there together as a group...mmmm...





OK, I'll blog-hop tomorrow as I'm pretty tired now he he he...

  4. it sounds like you'll handle the training just fine. Love the winter pictures. It's just sad that it's winter already and that it gets dark so soon, so fast.

  5. Cute to drag the kid around on a sleigh. Hmm, I wonder if Ican drag Rusty around on that thing too? Do you think dogs like Rusty would be too cold or must he put on some clothes?

  12. Hi again,

    Beautiful pictures!!

    Your job seems easy...but we never know how it will continue to be - first days seem always easy!
    I like the idea of having so many books to read...is it for free for you?

    Cheers
