Hello! Welcome to my blog. If you have ever thought that the life of a librarian was pretty soft, what with all that reading they get to do, this blog's for you!

I have been a library director at a small community college since 1994, but was a volunteer for three years before that. It is not my first career. In fact most librarians start out as something else, and fall into librarianship by accident, as I did. The ones who set out to be librarians from the first usually get into it because they love books and reading, and then find out it is a people job. Surprise, surprise!

Librarian humor is not funny to anyone else. Maybe it's because hardly anyone knows what we do. -- Do you know how many librarians it takes to change a light bulb? Only one, but she has to check with the Library of Congress to see how it is done. See?? That's what I mean.

What I am going to write about is how daily life unfolds for a librarian. I hope you enjoy it.
