What do you want to be when you grow up? A LIBRARIAN!!

Today I read in my Self magazine the following career advice:

 "Find a job that brings out your favorite childhood memory and you will be happy."

This made me smile because I can honestly say I am fulfilling my childhood dreams.  OK.  I am fulfilling my realistic childhood dreams.  I wanted to be the first woman president or the first lady but yes, I wanted to be a librarian.

When most kids were playing school, I played library.  I checked books out to Annie and Meg.  I made my own cards for my books.  And I loved to read, so much so that I missed a lot because my face was in a book.  There were many times when my famous words were..."after this chapter."

Right now is my favorite time to be a librarian - summer reading, which programming begins Tuesday with a tie dye and paint party!

I am so thankful to be a librarian.

One of my favorite quotes about librarians:

“Librarians are the coolest people out there doing the hardest job out there on the frontlines. And every time I get to encounter or work with librarians, I'm always impressed by their sheer awesomeness.”
― Neil Gaiman
