This is really well-written, Dave. Thanks for reminding me that what I do is interesting and important.

Hey, Dave, I love your essay. I will definitely recommend it to my friends who have the same questions.

Are the dragons reading the books? There’s nothing worse than an illiterate dragon sweater.

Yes, but MY applique sweater isn’t home-made. I’m such a sell out. But it has books and dragons on it! Raaaaaar!

Don’t worry, he has his sweater with pictures of books on it in the back of his closet too. :p

Oh, did I forget to mention that? Librarians are all about books, cats, and sewing. I’m a dog person, and I’d rather have a laptop than a yarn ball, but to each their own.

Thank you for all of that. I really appreciate it. You make librarianship sound much more exciting than the ALA website or some of the other “Is a library career for you?” sites do. (Of course, granted, those websites feature pictures of schoolmarm-esque middle aged women with sweaters that have pictures of books sewn into them.)
