2 Sentence Summary
A guy who found his way into being a librarian shares his path there and some of the joys and pains of the job. Disclaimer for those who think otherwise: it’s not all reading quietly during work. 😂
Thoughts
| A cute little read about one guy’s journey to being a library person. I super appreciated all the points he makes about the misconceptions people have about working in a library, or about librarian science. There’s a crap ton that goes into managing all of that information, and good luck to anyone who thinks they can just walk in and do it. Or the poor misguided fools who think they can just read all day if they work at a library. 😂 It is, essentially, a service job in many ways. And I think it’s widely known that service jobs tend to really suck sometimes. This is more of his story than it is a collection of anecdotes. I expected the latter, but wasn’t disappointed to get the former. There are a lot of disclaimers and lessons learned throughout, which I appreciated as a way to see how he’s grown. |
