Just stumbled across a great article about a Burlington County librarian named Paula Manzella (thank you, customized Google News): http://www.phillyburbs.com/news/news_details/article/26/2009/october/14/librarians-job-has-shelf-life.html The article is positive, interesting, and shows Paula (and by extension librarians and libraries in New Jersey) in a very positive light. PLUS, as an aside, I have to say I'm jealous -- I always wanted to drive the bookmobile! I think that might be one of the most fabulous jobs in the world. When I worked at Fort Smith Public Library in Arkansas we had a bookmobile and our driver, Mae, one time took me out on her rounds with her. It was awesome. |
