You Know You're a Librarian If...

• You ever feel the need to create a book display themed around whatever's currently going on in your life.
• You sometimes just want to *shush* people.
• You like to open a book and smell it.
• You hate eBooks on principle. But you pretend to like them and, in fact, promote them.
• You find yourself strangely drawn to pictures of cats.
• You think the world's problems would be solved if everyone would just get a library card already.
• You get excited when someone desperately needs your help because you love a good challenge.
• You follow movie and book news like some people follow sports.
• You have too many things to read already. But you keep adding to your pile because you don't want to hurt any of the books' feelings.
• You have to keep defending your profession to people who don't think it's real or think it's not going to last.
• You give people free things.
• You know how to be resourceful with what you have.
• You wear a lot of hats. You are a storyteller. A negotiator. A researcher, a teacher, a technician.
• Your idea of a fun evening is going home and putting on pajama pants and making tea.

Perhaps to be continued one day...
