Librarians Get Their Geek On
Yes, librarians geek, too. See what they are passionate about and why they think the public library is a vital community resource. Are you a librarian? Tell us what you geek.
Librarians care about you and your community. They help you explore what you geek and improve the place where you live. And this passion goes well beyond the library walls.

The school is the largest employer in this small rural town and the library is the business center. Economic trends have lately forced libraries into roles that before had never been considered. In addition to assisting people with resumes, job searches and filing for unemployment, we help connect people with small jobs needing to be done to people who need work. It was incredibly gratifying when one woman who recently found several small jobs through the library said, "I paid my overdue power bill. I think I'm going to make it now." Yes, I geek community building!
