I heart libraries!

by Kristen on December 20, 2009

I must apologize for the long hiatus.  I had to buckle down and finish graduate school.  The good news is I am officially finished!  I must say I am excited by the prospect of a full-time permanent job and a paycheque!

People often ask me why I decided to become a librarian.  I started library school because I like doing research and digging for information.  After two years of library school, I still like digging and doing research but my motivation has shifted slightly.  The thing I love most about my job is going to work and making a difference in people’s lives.  I helped this woman fix up her resume last week and she came in yesterday morning to tell me that after two long months of searching she finally got a couple of interviews!  She was so happy that she was nearly in tears.  It is nice to go home after work and feel good about what you do!  In honour of my transition from student to professional librarian here are handmade goods inspired by librarians!

I think what I love most about this paper doll is that she is a librarian and she looks like me!  If I had this paper doll I would proudly set her up in my office!

Hey Bernice you can be a librarian and a roller derby queen.  I have heard of at least two roller derby librarians!  Check out a real roller derby librarian:  http://www.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/08/31/roller.derby.librarian/index.html

Even my husband who is not a librarian likes this one!  I think anyone would look cool is this borrowing slip t-shirt.

I have to support my own kind and I know this seller must be a librarian.  Like me they are excited by “Books! Literacy! Reading! Education! Intellectual Freedom!”
