1. Have you always wanted to be a librarian?
No, I wanted to be a nurse or teacher.
2. What inspired you to become a librarian?
I like to help people. When I was little, I was not a good reader so I love to teach children to read really well.
3. What’s your favorite part of the job?
Seeing kids read, and them telling me they love to read. I also love giving prizes to readers and knowing we are number 3 in the district because we read 15,444 books from September 17, 2012 to January 24, 2013.
4. What are the rewards of being a librarian?
Seeing kids gain the love of reading is the best reward. And hearing the kids telling me they love to read.
5. Have you thought about the future of books? Will we have books in 20 years? 100 years?
I think in 5 to 10 years we will still have books, but in 20 or 100 years, no- everything is going to be computer based.
6. Are libraries changing with the internet? How?
Libraries are changing because the internet is so powerful, but either way librarians are still a very essential part because we help in many different ways.
7. What is your favorite book?
Pete the Cat by Eric Litwin, the kids love it and I love it too.
8. Do you get stressed when the library is a mess?
No, it doesn’t bother me at all because the students help me clean up.
9. Is working in the library hard? What challenges do you encounter?
No it’s so enjoyable; one of the main challenges are financial issues to replace old books that the kids love.
10. What kind of education do you need to become a librarian?
To become a librarian you need a masters degree in library and information science.
11. Do you enjoy doing what you do in the library every day? What is your day like?
Absolutely, I love to talk to the kids. Every day I see 8-9 classes, do lessons with them, and on weekends I do reports of what they have read.
12. About how many students do you see a day?
I see about 200 students a day and there are a total of 600 students in the school.​
