My motto for the library is, "It's for the kids". If we don't hook them now, then we'll have no Teens. And then we'll have no Adults. Its true. We need to to treat kids like we want them to be in our libraries- and we'll get free advertising when they go home telling their parents what a great time they had at OUR library.
I really like libraries. Where else can you go where everything is free? Where everyone is welcome? Where you can choose to socialize or to be left alone? No where but the public library.
And as far as jobs go, I've had some crummy ones. Waiting tables (ranch dressing under your fingernails), Martial Arts instructor (sparring with strange, sweaty men), Landscaper (Dirt, sweat, purpetually hunched over, in the dirt - do I need to mention its HOT!)
Working at the library isn't perfect. If it was, then people would not have to pay us to do it. There's going to be things that annoy us but all in all, working in a library is pretty darn good.
