Libraries = Sharing

By Dave E. 

My parents both worked in libraries. I will never forget the way my dad summed up what libraries were all about in one simple word. Sharing. That’s what he would say when people asked what libraries were about…
I am now a librarian myself and try to keep that simple answer in mind when I’m asked what I do. I share. I share the world’s knowledge with anyone who wants it, for free. What better job could there be?
