Why do we do it?

Why become a librarian? Is it for the glamour? The easy hours? The generous compensation?

I did it mostly for the versatile hours, but I discovered that I like the companionship of the eclectic people who go into this field.

If you're one of them, why do you do it?

    I can't get away from the words. Where else in the universe would you be paid to read and review, analyze, recommend and promote words and ideas that are meaningfully connected? We have the opportunity to display and market the ideas of our culture that will shape the world of the future.

    No, it's not about the words. It's about the lipstick and shoes. We get to wear great shoes under the circulation desk. Italian boots (see 945 or 391.4 or visit the Bata Shoe Museum

    and talking to patrons all day long makes our lipstick a customer service issue (see B RUB Beauty Millionaire: the Life of Helena Rubenstein)
