Appreciation from a Library Clerk
First, thank you for this brilliant podcast! Listening to the passion you two have for the work you do, the patrons you serve literature as a whole. You two have expander my mind, my view of the world and you have actually inspired me to go back to school to get my Library Science degree.
Second, I would like to thank you for this podcast specifically. So many people look down on this work, as I’m sure you know. Often I hear ignorant statements such as; “oh, I’d love to an easy job like yours.” or “wow! I didn’t think people still went to Libraries.” It was extremely validating to hear about your experiences of people stopping you to ask when the Library would open or the children/young adults they you’ve established a rapport with all grown up... Many people don’t realize that working at a library means so much more than shelving books, you become a crucial part of the community. Anyway, that novel was to say that I appreciated your thoughts on this podcast and I felt a special kinship with you guys! Love you guys, love this podcast!!
P.S. Crystal, I HATE ASMR but I ALWAYS look forward to your segment at the end... you’re easing me into it 😉.
