Wow, obviously it must be excellent there or else you would’ve left. I’ve always admired library work and the institution of libraries, but I think my current full-time job keeps me just a bit too busy to try it out. Plus… I wonder how their budgets will go in the coming years…

I did eventually end up leaving my original library for one in a blue state. Library positions don’t pay a lot and the future of libraries is very much under attack. But you do it for the passion of literacy and helping the community however you can.
