Freaking out

All these job interviews have got me a bit wound up now.  The one that has me the most spun up is a part-time position in a public library and one of the interview components is to plan and present a storytime.  That doesn’t sound like much to freak out about but when you factor in that a) I have no experience with this and b) I’m used to working with adults, not kids.  I’m headed off to the local public library closest to me this morning to observe a storytime and see what’s involved and hopefully talk to the presenter to get some tips.  My library background never included any of this b/c I’ve always worked in law firms or university libraries so this whole storytime thing is freaking me out.  I thought storytime was simply someone reading a story in the library.  Considering I haven’t been to storytime however since I was probably 5, things have changed.   Apparently there’s a whole programming component that takes a lot of time to prepare and be tailored to the audience and might include finger puppets, flannelboards and other things that I’ve never used or worked with.  Need to talk myself down off the freakout ledge now and get to prepping.
