Lisa,
I LOVE MY JOB!!! I love seeing the joy in a kid as they hug a book and saunter out
the door to read one or a huge stack of books! Or when they make an accomplishment
due so something they read or wrote due to what happens in the library or an
assignment given in the library. I great my kids with "Good Morning Readers" and
end my speeches, however long or short, with "Happy Reading!"
Enjoy your summer,
Colette

You see, I don't believe libraries should be drab places where people sit in
silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals
as librarians. ~~Monty Python

"Be who you are and say what you feel 'cause people who mind don't matter, and
people who matter don't mind."
Theodor Seuss Geisel
"What I like best is a book that's at least funny once in a while.... What really
knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author
that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone
whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though."
- J. D. Salinger

The recent discussion about "obsolete libraries" has been positive and remained
professional. However, there is that underlying negative tone in the discussion.
I'm putting my focus on the positive, and I'm sure many of you do that, too. These
are some tough economic times, even in the BEST of time work in the school library
isn't always easy. Personally, I've dealt with some real blows in my own position.
I used to absolutely love my job, but over the past 5 years coming to work has
sometimes made me physically ill. I've done so much soul searching to determine
why I'm still in this gig.
I do love my work. I enjoy my work as a librarian. When I'm with students or
helping teachers to create and deliver meaningful instruction I feel joy and
happiness with my work. Things that break my heart or make me ill at work have to
do with the politics of education.
How many of us are happy with our work? Are we only a "happy few?" I love what I
do and that is why I do it. Who else loves this work and why do you love it?
