Somewhere near the end of the #librarianstress madness on twitter, this exchange happened:
If you don’t know me very well, you might not understand the enormity of this statement. See, because of my professional experience and background, I’ve never felt like much of a librarian. Oh sure, I respect (and sometimes revere) this profession, but for the most part, I don’t take myself seriously, and I’m prone to frequent bouts of impostor syndrome.
So to say without any irony, snark, or reservations, that I can’t imagine working anywhere but a public library means that somewhere along the way, a huge shift took place. I barely even noticed it.
‘Scuse me. I’m feeling all of the feels.
