Today was, indeed a good day to be in the library. Early in the school year, I have quite a number of kids looking for books and looking for advice. I love that part of the job. What was cool specifically today is what one kid who working on a computer in the library said to me, "It's like you read palms and know what book to give them."

We all work hard to get to know our collections and our kids. We try very hard to hear what they are saying and give them a book they will love reading. When we are successful at that, it is a definite job perk. When some one notices, what a bonus! Such are the moments we tuck away in our hearts for the exhausted days.
