Second Observation

On January 26, 2010, from 1:55 to 2:35, on the first floor of the South Regional Library in Pembroke Pines. I observed and interview several members of the library staff.

Janet is a Reference Librarian, like Emil Moreno; she sits at the Information desk and answers patron's questions and assists them with their requests. She will direct patrons where to look for the books and other materials they are looking for. She will order books and materials, if the library doesn't have them. She will look up and print information for the patrons, if it's not too long.

Rick is the Assistant Section Supervisor of Youth Services. He supervises several staff members and reads stories to the toddlers at the library, as well as at the Daycare Center on South Campus.

Marjorie is the Supervisor of the Periodical Department. She shelves periodical and
audio/ visual matterials on the shelves. She also helps out on the Circulation Desk andanywhere they need her.

The librarians and staff dress conservatively and modestly, but comfortable.

The patrons dress casually, as well as in business attire.

Patrons work on the computers or sit at the tables and work or study, or read newspapers. The library also have groups of sectionals where people can sit and read or relax.
