Karen! Being a librarian is a passion. I love my job. I enjoy
reading kids books, young adult books, and when possible, books written for
adults. I think a lot of us read at home because that is when
we can best read, without too many interruptions and focus on the book.
Frequently, I find myself doing this when preparing for a book club
or reviewing new titles. </span></font></p>
