I learned a lot after doing 8 hours on that Saturday. Like in any workplace, the longer you stay the more you get to know people on the job. I thought that the people who volunteer at this place have been very welcoming so far. It's good to know that the people you are volunteering with are very passionate about their work, since they don't get paid. So I tried to take advantage of that and ask questions about the state of public libraries in the US. A lot of the people I asked, including my mentor, agreed with me about my position on public libraries. They all wanted more support for public libraries, and even though SSF Public Library is not hurting for money, they would still need it if they want to advance to the level of San Francisco's public libraries. One cool thing that the library does have is a 3D printer. It's not as big as most 3D printers, but it can still make some amazing products, and the wait time is only about 5 hours maximum.
