Another Interview Process

We are in the process of orienting our new librarian hire! Yeah! How wonderful to start handing off those lists of projects waiting for the right person to fill the bill. But now, we are saying goodbye to our Evening & Reserves Supervisor who has decided to do his Library Science degree at my alma mater, UIUC. (Yes, I absolutely bragged about how wonderful the program is there!)

We posted and within a week I had ample applicants, and the pool is stellar. Such perfect matches, complete with the expertise we need. They will quickly be able to pick up and run with the systems and processes we need overseen. This is exciting. The pool for this job is usually not great because the hours are so late. Who wants to get off work after midnight?

Today we met the first interviewee. She was delightful. And astute. If all the candidates are this stellar, we will have a hard time selecting just one. Thank you, Lord, for the encouragement. Perhaps this fall will not be so challenging after all.
