[Publib] re: on being a director

[Susan Riley]

My story is a little different.  I was a reference and young adult 
librarian when I realized I was possibly facing a divorce.  I knew that 
I couldn't raise 3 children on a librarian's salary, so I interviewed at 
several libraries with director openings and was offered 2 of them.  
It's kind of sad that I felt like I was forced into a career change, but 
thankfully I discovered that I enjoy at least most of the administrative 
responsibilities, and perhaps it's helped me be a strong advocate for 
services to teens.
