斗六繪本圖書館

7/2-7/9
The first thing I did in the library is arranging the bookcases. Before I arrange the bookcases, I thought it just likes a piece a cake for arranging bookcases. But I know I’m wrong for this work. I have to order those books carefully according the serial number of books. For me, this work is required concentration and patience. All of the interns in this picture book library are studying in YUNTECH, so we have many common topics to talk and get more familiar with others fast. During the first week we work together, I know each intern has her specialty and many interns have their own ideas, so we went on with the schedule smoothly. Interpreting international picture books is a happy work for me, because I take Japanese and Korean as my elective subject, I not only can use the language what I learn but also can read the picture books at the same time. Interpreting can improve my foreign language vocabulary, just like learning by doing. Hoping that I can improve my foreign language except English through interpreting picture books and have good performances on the projects in the future two months.

It is the second week to intern in the picture book library. It seemed that time was passing faster than last week. On Tuesday, I joined the activity “繪本藝想世界”. Through the speaker’s introduction and analysis, I learned how to analyze the front cover of picture books and what the authors want to delivery by the illustrations. Every detail is important even though the illustration is very small. Our curator asked for volunteers to design the different posters during this week. Most interns from design department are more active than interns from other departments to be responsible for design posters. I think it is because design is their expertise, and they are in confidence with their profession, just like I’m studying English, and I’m interesting in interpreting international picture books. However, I still admire their responsibility and abilities to design the beautiful posters. I would like to design a poster, but I think I’m lack of the talent of design, it will take me a lot of time to do this and still cannot achieve the goal. So, I’m both afraid and desire.

After this two week I observed, I found that the orientations of picture book library and Zhongshan branch library are totally different. Although these two libraries have picture books, novels, newspapers and so on, the target groups are distinguishing. The main groups for picture book library is children; on the contrary, Zhongshan branch library is adult and teenager. We have an activity called “reading books for you” which starts from this week. The goal of this activity is to read the picture books with children, curator encouraged us to interact with readers. Because it’s seldom for me to read a book for other people, I’m not skillful at first, but I believe I will be better in the future. There is one thing which is impressive for me on Tuesday. That is a person who came to Zhongshan branch library, she wanted to use the computer in the library. She try many times, but she still can’t enter the computer. So, she asked the staff angrily. Her attitude was impolite. Even though the person is impolite, the staff still politely explain the several reason why she can’t enter the computer. I admire the staff’s emotional intelligence, the staff can control her emotion and make self-regulation well. She didn’t be affected by what the person said. Nowadays, if I was the staff, I may angrily speak to the person, and feel sad about what the person said. So, I learned the self-control from the staff.
