Training New Children's Librarians - What exhaustion, what joy!

See my post on the ALSC Blog to find out what new children's librarians have to learn (and they do it with a smile, those sweet puppies!).

    My daughter Kalimba works at the main branch of the library in our town, continuing the family fascination with books and public service.She had checked out a copy of Thomas Pynchon's Gravity Rainbow but had to return it before finishing. Since there is a wait list, she asked if I would purchase her a copy during my errands. Upon reimbursing me for her book, she admits " Mom , I'm thinking about the dishes" - as in I'm not at the point of actually washing them but I am thinking about them. In the call and response that has evolved between us , I say dishes - wishes! My offspring responses " You know it's the thought that counts".My cup runs over!
