My Real Job

If anybody would like to see the work I'm doing for Goshen Public Library, go here. I spend about 6 hours a week (I work at the desk the other 34) posting stuff to the teen blog, tweeting, and using Facebook to promote the Library.

I also sit around and dream up ways to get teens excited about reading. That's the important thing. That's my real job. Heck, just getting them inside the building is huge. If a Wii party or Guitar Hero tournament gets kids into the library, count me in! Who cares if it's not library-ish, or if it's a bit noisy?

Bottom line: I'd rather buck library tradition for the sake of teen literacy than promote the idea that libraries are boring. Now I just need to get everybody else to think the same way.
