Librarian Shares 28 Secrets After People-Watching For Years
Libraries are special places. As a kid, they almost seemed magical. There was a mystery about them. This special places that housed all this history, all these stories... it was something else.
Then, as we get older, they can lose a little bit of that magic. Maybe it's the countless hours in college libraries working on papers or the group projects... either way, libraries didn't seem as special to me as I got older.
It wasn't until I took my 3 year old daughter to our local library a few months ago that I remembered how cool libraries are. Seeing it through a child's eyes was awesome and the magic was definitely back.
Luckily, a librarian from Scotland, @grumpwitch, has shared some of the observations she has made as a librarian. She's explained some of the seriously cool stuff that happens and some of the sad realities she has noticed. Librarians are seriously underrated people and these points are awesome.
