Re: HS Becoming a Secondary Librarian

[Joanne Shawhan <jshawhan@NYCAP.RR.COM>]

Dear Marian,=20

I would add to be successful as a secondary librarian, you need to be =
patient, have a sense of humor, and not take things personally.  If you =
enjoy it, you might want to start reading YA fiction.  I like to be able =
to recommend books that I have read personally to the kids, but as Allan =
said, the personal qualities are much more important than the skills.  =
You cetainly can pick  those as you go along.
