But I was dense and didn't see what I was supposed to be doing. Then our local library director advertised for a children's librarian. I went to talk to her about it and she said, "I was hoping you would ask," and hired me. She saw something in me, I guess, because I'm still doing it 22 years later.

That love for words morphed into a passion for writing and I aspired to be a journalist for something like National Geographic. Then I interned for a local magazine, witnessed firsthand how miserable your more average journalist can be on a daily basis, and decided, you know...that I should be happy? <br /><br />At the end of undergrad, I started looking for ways to combine my love of books with my love of serving people and after talking to my local public librarians, I was certain it would be the best move for me. I came into working with children because I wanted to be creative and inspired by peers. They never let me down. ;)Brytanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483280723393231681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443395124572079863.post-27180637487355441342013-10-29T09:52:36.494-05:002013-10-29T09:52:36.494-05:00I remember playing organizing games too!
