Third day (final day of required hours)

March 19, 2016 10AM-6PM

This day was one of my last days volunteering at South San Francisco Public Library, ending with exactly 25 hours. Volunteering at the library went by very quickly and I  miss it. I will continue volunteering when the track season winds down a little. Sorting became much easier for me, because hours of doing it has made the process go by like a blur instead of a tedious task. While my volunteering experience had been great, one of the aspects of volunteering at the library that I like the least is the dress code. You are not allowed to wear t shirts, any sportswear, or denim jeans. I usually wear jeans every single day, and most of my pairs have multiple rips and patches on them. It's not the end of the world, but it made me realize how working in a real corporate job is going to be, or in an office setting. When I worked at Sears my work uniform was basic: A black polo with black pants or jeans. Nevertheless, everything else in South San Francisco Public Library was a positive experience. I have learned much about how library administration and how public libraries operate as a whole. Ultimately it helped me learn much more about the importance of Public Libraries, and has provided me with information that can greatly improve the quality of my research paper.
