Yes, my assistant and I have both been caught reading (gasp). We are also frequently caught reading during our lunch time...yes, i know its shocking behavior. But in all seriousness, we answer those questions with the reply, "We are reviewing these books before shelving them so that we can assist students in book selection" Jennifer Garcia, Librarian Uvalde Junior High School P.O.

This is my first year in the library and I never have time to read while at school. I TRY to read a book every evening. Well, last night I started Sid Fleischman's The Entertainer and the Dybbuk but didn't finish it. I was dying to now how it ended. It was a quiet period so I decided to finish it up before I processed it. (we're talking 20 pages here.) Well you would have thought, I was lying down taking a nap. Everybody that walked by my door (my desk is right by the door ) made a comment. "I'm going to give you a job." "If you've got time to read, I've got something for you to do." Etc. Next time, I'm going to go hide behind the stacks to read! I just find it interesting that people are surprised to see a librarian reading. I guess it just goes along with the fact that many people really just have no idea what it is that we do all day. Tere Hager Secondary Librarian Brentwood Christian School 11908 N.
