Job Advice

Only 4ish months into my First librarian job and now I am getting a mentor assigned to me. I have slight fear now that maybe I am not completing all the work that is expected of me.

I am planning events out, and even proposed and wrapped up an event that would drive students to explore the library for a free toy.

Did what I assume was expected of me, but now I feel stuck and unsure of what more work to do, Beyond proposing a program. Or running passive whiteboard displays for engagement.

I am unsure of how I can get more research appointments or faculty appointments if no one knows me. I already volunteer to run class room visits to get my name out to more students.

It maybe that I am needlessly panicking, and the mentor relationship is not a library lingo of a pip (performance improvement plan)?
