Tuesday night we had a blast at our west Houston mixer. Our LISSA officers met up with two new students and one UNT-SLIS alumna at Panera Bread to discuss librarianship and life. We talked about the job market here in the Houston area, the President’s dinner, and the All School Day (both the date change and the theme). It is obvious that our Houston students are very busy with their jobs and families, but it was great that some of them took the time to come out and mingle. Interestingly the gamut from public, special, academic, & school libraries were of interest to each attendee. We had the entire buffet of programs in one sitting. What a great opportunity to find shared and differing views on careers and studies!
Our next Houston LISSA mixer is scheduled for March 8th 2007 at the La Madeleine’s in Rice Village!
