What’s that you say? Librarians aren’t meant to be so quiet?!?

I started a position back in July with Ontario Ministry of Economic Development & Innovation (formerly the Ministry of Economic Development & Trade, but the ministry merged with the Ministry of Research & Innovation after the October election). I have drafted this post several times over, as I want to let the world know where my career has been taking me.

I was accepted. I signed the paperwork. And on my very first day, I affirmed.

I affirmed to not talk about work! Me? Not talk?!? It’s true; public servants swear an oath that’s a little like a non-disclosure agreement. I’ve even done one of those before. But this left me a little hesitant about what to write on a very public blog…

Here’s what I know I can tell you…

I do not work out of Queen’s Park.

I work somewhere around…

I am a solo-librarian here and have learned so so so much since July. But as a solo-librarian, you sort of have to.

This is all that I know for sure for sure that I can tell you… (I feel like a spy!)

I have also been very busy. More posts to come on work-life balance…
