Some of us older librarian types have learned to embrace technology and appreciate how it can simplify our lives but…recently I’ve begun to wear my hair in the stereotypical bun and I still use a flannel board in my story times! However, this fun-loving gal seldom shushes folks. Have you noticed that libraries aren’t the quiet places they used to be?
Hi MaryJane, it never came up at The Creative Connection, but I’m also a substitute librarian. I received my Master’s in Library Science and it’s important to me that I *do* something with that degree. You are absolutely right, the role of a librarian and the library have changed dramatically. I have an internal struggle with the move towards more electronic media. In my heart I have a deep love for the feel of books. I hope that my children will embrace technology, but I also hope to find them reading past their bedtime with their new favorite novel..
