April 24th - Sacramento Room & SPL Volunteer Luncheon
Today I've begun processing a small manuscript collection associated with a local small owner business date from the late 1800s. The collection comprises a set of ledger books and abstract of title/chain of title legal records. I will be creating a simple finding aid using example from the Online Archive of California/Calisphere and learning about Encoded Archival Description (EAD) tags so the finding aid and collection may be digitized in a way that can be searched via the Online Archive or the Sacramento Room's/Sacramento Public Library's Digital Collections. I've been directed to read a number of links including:

This Thursday I only spent 2 hours volunteering but I will spend another 4 hours on Sunday, April 27th.
Got in a little networking and fun at the library today as well. As a volunteer of the Sacramento Room, I attended the Sacramento Public Library Annual Volunteer Appreciation luncheon in the Tsakopolous Library Galleria. I thought this was a perfect opportunity to bring my son to one of my favorite places to work :). Here are some pics from that event - the Wizard of Oz theme was awesome!
