Many of my coworkers have special skills and areas of expertise. If I need advice on anything, from collection development, to troubleshooting e-reader issues, to creatively adapting tricky items so they can circulate safely in and out of the library (sturdier cases! add pockets!), I know I have a vast pool of shared knowledge to draw from. I work with people who care deeply about the library and its patrons, and they're always willing to lend a helping hand. 3.

I taught them some techniques we use in Technical Services when we're mending damaged items and showed them some of the behind-the-scenes magic of the library. My passion was clearly contagious. I saw their faces light up, answered their thoughtful questions, and heard them making plans for what they would do with their next trip to the library. I feel so lucky to have shared some of my favorite things about the library with them and I'm hopeful that they will become lifelong learners and library users. MORE MEAGAN Question or comments?
