[Publib] Friday Question

[Doug Dawson]

I've pursued several different routes to career happiness (see LinkedIn - http://www.linkedin.com/in/dwdawson).

When I learned about the PLA job I really worked to get it, because once I asked myself the question "What do you think about public libraries?" I realized how important this often overlooked institution was to me. I knew I could support public libraries wholeheartedly.

I love my job because I think I have a pretty good grasp on what I know about interactive development. I think I have a pretty good attitude about customer service. I plan on applying that knowledge and attitude to the benefit of public librarians. I love my job because of the folks I work with. I love my job because during my lunch break I can walk around the John Hancock tower and look out across the lake. I love my job because my colleagues read! and they recommend books! I love my job because public libraries are awesome.

I think public librarians rock. I love my job because I'm in a position to help them out.
