At the beginning of this year I chose story and road as my words to live by. So when the children/young adult library assistant job opened at our local branch opened up I applied right away. Well, they hired me and a new road has opened in my life. I'm a book person. Nearly every room in my house is full of books. I carry a book every where in case I get a spare moment to read.
NOW I've begun reading young adult literature-wow, a whole new world. Graphic novels, anime, excellent
novels, sci fi, fantasy...just yesterday 'read' the most beautiful book The Arrival by Shaun Tan (takes my
breath away-not a single word of any recognizable language yet the art takes you another place). I feel so very lucky.
Ahhhh - to be surrounded by books. What a delight that must be! I am also a book lover - my husband tells me I need to leave some books in the library for everyone else! Enjoy your new job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa. I'm still pinching myself. We had the story time yesterday for the 2-3 year old group-lamb books...and that song Wheels on the Bus. I'm back in my element!
