I started a new job last week; organizing and general upkeep if the art section of our local library. I hesitated at first, because the job description implied that I wouldn’t have much work to do after a couple days, but I was wrong! It’s only a five-hour day, and I don’t sit down ONCE. The books are a mess, and I keep finding myself going over the same ones again and again.
What I do love is when the kids come by looking for material for a report or school paper. That is when I can really be of service. I’ve got a lot of background in the field, and since I work with kids at my studio I can often recognize their style right away. It’s great to help them find a direction for their work, and help them collect articles and books that are relevant. Makes my day! And in the language of the text-inclined: 🙂
