Greetings,

When I tell people I work in a library, I always feel the need to clarify that libraries are not necessarily the quiet places that people usually think of...

Library is no place for group howl: Utah State University officials

That exciting and unexpected things do happen...

Snake On Lam At Library

That you get exposed to all kinds of interesting people...

Naked campaign to save library

Some of them are great.

Man Pays Library $171, 47-Year Late Fee

Some...not so great.

Clearance of library: President allows use of force

...and the pay isn't bad either.

Library spinster died a millionaire

Then there is the biggest misconception. Libraries are not just about books!

Who Needs Paper? Not Iowa College

However...as this beloved Canadian author points out, there will always be a need for books...and papers!

Pierre Berton on How to Roll a Joint

Kind of makes you proud doesn't it?
