Fellow UNC-G alum Lauren Pressley recently published a book entitled So You Want To Be A Librarian. It’s an attempt to answer the questions librarians everywhere hear from those who think they might be interested in the profession. Even though I’m long past the point of being curious about what we do, I’m planning to buy a copy and loan it to those who (so very frequently) ask about the job.

Thanks for the mention! I hope that it does the job you’re describing. It was great fun to write, in large part because it meant that I could learn a lot about all the facets of librarianship that I don’t typically work in. Hope all is well with you!
I’m sure it does precisely that. And if you ever want to come up to Richmond and spend some time kicking around a Holocaust/genocide research library let me know.
Thanks! I actually do go up to Richmond every once in a while, and next time I stop by I’d love to see your library if we can work it out!
