  • Library Life

    “If you want to grow up to be a librarian like me, you are going to have to learn a few things. You’ll need to fix the copy machine, printer, computer, tablets, 3-d printers, e-readers, and robots. You’ll need to perform puppet shows and wear costumes and funny hats. You’ll need to be able to do people’s taxes and help with applications and resumes. Have you been trained in CPR? You know your alphabet right? How about decimals?”
    “Can I just be a rocket scientist? Sounds easier.”
