It is back to the books for me. I am officially a graduate student. I am enrolled in the School of Library and Information Science program at Wayne State University. It is an adventure I have anticipated for many years. I am quite happy I finally enrolled and am embarking on this new adventure. I will be using this blog as my journal site for my introduction class.
It's always been back back to the books for me. From the little lending library set up in our 15th Street home to the numerous trips to the children's library downtown, it's been back to the books. High school homework was done in the Lincoln High library as well as the public library. Being read aloud to by Mrs. Anderson in Advanced English class works ranging from Death of a Salesman to Romeo and Juliet further opened my world to books and the love of them. I landed my first work study job at Augustana College the summer before I enrolled, where else, the library, among the books. Education training at Augie introduced me to a whole new world of books, literature and learning. Harriet Hybertson, children's literature professor beyond compare, demanded we read, know, love and get back to the books for our students' sake. Every move I have ever made with my children and on my own has included a trip to the library in our new town within the first few weeks. It's always back to the books.
Now, it's back to the books as I work in the children's department in a public library. I read numerous books to children every week. Incredibly, I am also responsible for selecting, buying, and caring for the books for our library for patrons newborn through high school. It is an awesome task I take very seriously.
Yes, it's back to the books. As it's always been.
