[Publib] Why Librarianship

[Audrey Lewis]

The fact that I have always enjoyed reading, the library atmosphere etc.
 When I was a child, the librarians at my branch library were very
helpful and kind to me and "spoiled" me a lot....saving the newest Black
Stallion book, recommending things to me, having little chats about
books with me whenever I came in.  I thought "how wonderful to be in a
place where you could do this all day...learn about books and share it
and take care of the books". Also, when I became disenchanted with
practice teaching in college, an English professor at my college
suggested librarianship and I remembered my early ambitions to join
their hallowed ranks!!

You may have deduced from this that I am a Geezer Librarian.  When I
entered library school, computers where huge things that took up entire
rooms!  LOL
