The best part of Orientation was . . .

• “Getting to meet other new employees. I learned a little about some of the other departments, plus they share my experience of being a ‘newby’”

“Seeing library units ‘in action’ . . . getting to view a person or group performing their role can say so much more than any verbal/written description”

“I feel like I have a better grasp of where I fit into the organization”
