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.

I geek small libraries! I've worked at two small libraries (Base Library in Wyoming and Village Library in Vandenberg Village in Lompoc, California) and don't want to go large. Working at a small library you get to try out every area of library work...if one task starts to feel monotonous there are plenty of other tasks to switch to and attack! I geek patrons' stories and enthusiasm for libraries.
I geek dogs ... I read all the dog-related books (except horror stories) in my library & place holds for new books along the Central Coast. I'm currently reading about shelter dogs, dog massage, Oogy, The Lost Dogs, First Lady of the Seeing Eye, and various Children's books including I Am the Dog. I fell in love with dogs and dog adoption after adopting my awesome dog Barkley who adores story time and being part of any library event.
I geek Christian fiction ... so nice to relax on a positive note. My favorite authors: Gilbert Morris, Terri Blackstock, Dee Henderson, Deeanne Gist, Janette Oke. It's exciting for me that my patrons keep asking for more Christian fiction as well!
