Life as a Children's Librarian

Life as a Children's Librarian is never dull!
Today I dressed up as a clown for "Wacky Day" and the local paper arrived. Thank goodness they decided that the children at the activity looked far cuter then me in my clown pants.
On other occasions I have dressed as Spot the Dog, a teddy bear, a witch, a farmer, a monster and a spider. Just to name a few.
Another really fun thing I do in my job is buying books. It is great to see kids faces when I take out a whole pile of brand new books for them to borrow, It's like Christmas morning. I can't wait to get the latest Harry Potter novel and have them ready for the first people to borrow on 21st July. We already have 47 holds on this title. At least 30 of these holds will be filled on the first day.
What a great job! Never a dull moment.
