I try to read 1-2 hrs a day in the library... I begin with the Bible about 7 AM --
then switch to whatever YA book I am reading for YALSA/PPYA later.. then of course
the newspaper also. I can't encourage reading if I am never seen reading.
The rest of the work can just wait. Reading is my first priority and what isn't
done just isn't done. So be it.

Subject: Re: [LM_NET] LIbrarian reading in the library
Just curious - how many of you actually READ, during the day, in the
library?
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.
