1
00:00:00,634 --> 00:00:01,435
My name is Abby Ryan.

2
00:00:01,502 --> 00:00:02,769
I'm a Youth Services Librarian

3
00:00:02,836 --> 00:00:03,904
at Madison Public Library

4
00:00:03,971 --> 00:00:05,072
Central Library.

5
00:00:05,138 --> 00:00:06,306
I am so lucky that a

6
00:00:06,373 --> 00:00:07,741
typical day for me

7
00:00:07,808 --> 00:00:08,842
has such a variety

8
00:00:08,909 --> 00:00:09,977
of things in it.

9
00:00:10,043 --> 00:00:11,912
There's always a little bit of

10
00:00:11,979 --> 00:00:12,946
customer service

11
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:14,081
working at our public

12
00:00:14,147 --> 00:00:15,816
reference desks.

13
00:00:18,118 --> 00:00:19,219
there's also a lot of

14
00:00:19,286 --> 00:00:20,621
planning behind the scenes.

15
00:00:20,687 --> 00:00:22,456
We had four gigantic

16
00:00:22,523 --> 00:00:24,558
groups of school kids

17
00:00:24,625 --> 00:00:25,526
visit our library

18
00:00:25,592 --> 00:00:26,493
within the last month.

19
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:27,995
There's a lot of

20
00:00:28,061 --> 00:00:29,997
behind the scenes planning for

21
00:00:30,063 --> 00:00:31,431
future things that happen.

22
00:00:31,498 --> 00:00:32,566
What are we going to do?

23
00:00:32,633 --> 00:00:33,267
What stories are we

24
00:00:33,333 --> 00:00:34,001
going to read?

25
00:00:34,067 --> 00:00:34,701
How are we going to

26
00:00:34,768 --> 00:00:35,836
rotate a hundred kids

27
00:00:35,903 --> 00:00:38,372
through our space safely?

28
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:40,841
I would love our

29
00:00:40,908 --> 00:00:42,109
community to know that

30
00:00:42,176 --> 00:00:44,111
the library is there for them.

31
00:00:44,178 --> 00:00:45,979
It's there for everybody.

32
00:00:46,046 --> 00:00:46,914
You never know

33
00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:48,015
what you're going to find

34
00:00:48,081 --> 00:00:49,082
until you come and check it out.

35
00:00:49,149 --> 00:00:50,817
Come on in and see what we have.

36
00:00:50,884 --> 00:00:52,653
If you're not using it,

37
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:53,754
you're missing out.

38
00:00:53,820 --> 00:00:54,821
People are always going

39
00:00:54,888 --> 00:00:55,822
to be looking for

40
00:00:55,889 --> 00:00:56,990
opportunities to learn

41
00:00:57,057 --> 00:00:58,492
and libraries provide that.

42
00:00:58,559 --> 00:00:59,793
And I think libraries

43
00:00:59,860 --> 00:01:00,627
are going to continue to

44
00:01:00,694 --> 00:01:01,662
be those places of

45
00:01:01,728 --> 00:01:03,263
human to human connection.

46
00:01:03,330 --> 00:01:04,865
And I'm excited.

47
00:01:04,932 --> 00:01:06,133
We don't always have the answers

48
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,401
but we're always...

49
00:01:07,467 --> 00:01:08,602
we've always got ideas of

50
00:01:08,669 --> 00:01:10,337
where to look.
