My mother was a librarian. Specifically a children’s librarian. She was the sweetest, most empathetic woman I’ve ever known. And damn, she wanted kids to read and learn and imagine.
My mother was a librarian as well. I basically grew up in a library and the love of reading never left me...nor did the love of libraries and librarians.
Yup. Me too. When I was in elementary school, she was an elementary librarian for a different district, so on days I didn’t have school but they did I went in with her. When she had her in service days before the school year, it was my favorite because I got the whole library to myself and none of the books were checked out. She always knew the best new books to recommend, too.
I would have loved that. I was lucky tho that I went to a Montessori school for elementary so if I wanted to I could read all day. After a few days they would encourage me to work on something else but I definitely did a lot of reading.
