The Main Characters

The Man (of the House): The love of my life. Severely addicted to books (that take up WAYYYY too much space in our house) and raw garlic. We've been married 15 years, but involved for many more. Long story....

Our Kids:
SC:  Age 14. Book addicted like both her parents. Serious, but with a nice sense of humor. Well mannered in the eyes of the world, but at home,it can be another story--she's a teenager(!)

JR: Age 10  I think of her as a Disney Princess's evil twin. All the eccentricity of both sides of the family wrapped up in a sweet little body and an adorable smile. People find her a darling. I do too, but I also find her exhausting!

The Beasts: Our 2 cats, both adopted from animal rescue. "Bart" is a big, solid black, total teddy bear of a cat. Our brown tabby queeen "Bella" is  in love with The Man, though she seems to like me too!

Me: Children's librarian by day, tired keeper of all of the above by night. When I think of my life, I think of Nicole Hollander (Sylvia)'s immortal line about things that are easier than combining a family and a career. Like swimming the Amazon covered in peanut butter....

    "Thank You" Means A Lot

    For those of you who think I complain too much about my wonderful, "Joe Taxpayer" supported job as a public librarian, here is something positive.

    One of my favorite families is moving from our area. I will miss them greatly. Not only are they regular attendees at story hour, but the mom clearly understands that the purpose of the library is the BOOKS--and she and her daughter take plenty home with them.

    They made me a lovely present--a canvas book bag  they decorated with several favorite book titles, my name and the words "Best Librarian"

    I will treasure the bag. But I will treasure the thought that went behind the gift even more. And most of all the mother's words about her daughter--"she always loved books and reading, but your program made it special".

    That's what makes it all worth it.

    That's why I do what I do.

    That's why I would never want to do anything else................
