I LOVE reading. I mean completely and utterley 100% ADORE it. And I work in a library! I don't just work in a library I manage my very own beautiful little library.
It is a warm, cosy, lovely place to work. I feel every day that I would be happy to come in in comfy clothes and slippers - it has that welcoming kind of atmosphere (of course I don't do that as I would look very silly!!!)
People often think that working in a library must be a) incredibly boring or b) really easy. I can't count how many times I have heard people say "That must be a lovely job, just sitting and reading books all day!" I actually thought that myself before I started my first library job. How wrong I was!!
There is always sooooooo much to do and be done. Events to plan, promotions to organise, stock to manage and display to entice people to borrow things they wouldn't normally read. I can honestly say I am never bored and am never short of things to do! If anyone is reading this and you don't go to your local library, then shame on you!! Go there, have a look around, talk to the staff and find out what goes on. I imagine there is alot more taking place than you ever thought possible!
