hands in book stacks

a librarian's hands

I have been a children’s librarian for 17 years, but I have worked with children for 30 years. I love it. 🙂 At work I am known as Miss Wendy but the books think of me as their Little Bo Peep (with a significantly more mundane wardrobe.) However, I eschew Bo’s “leave them alone…” philosophy. If a book has gone missing it means one of two things: either it’s on a grand adventure visiting another book and I’ll need to get out my big boots, a treasure map and the magic gps, or — it’s shy. And with a little bit of love and reassurance, I can coax a shy book into revealing its hiding place for a trip home with a happy child.
