I'm certain I was a librarian in a former life. I LOVE them. The quainter the better. I especially love research, and was never happier than when I poked around archives all over the country for my first book. If I worked in a library, they'd have to keep me away from the electronics--I am hopeless. I would do best as an archivist. I definitely think that if you feel the pull, you should go for it. Maybe you could shadow several different types of librarians to get a clearer idea of which area you'd pursue (if you don't know already).
On the topic of books, sort of: a shameless plug, for the good of abused Yorkies. Did you read about last weekend's puppy mill bust in southeast Mo? 93 Yorkies found in unspeakable conditions. I'm trying to raise $$ on YT tfor the rehab of those dogs to donate to the Mo Humane Society, via sales of my new book,
HOW THE YORKIE RESCUED SANTA-An Adventure in Doggerel. Just $8 plus $1.50 S & H. All profits go to the Yorkies.
In just 2 days I've raised almost $100!!!
If you're interested, email me at

Carol S. Porter - Writer, Editor, Speaker
Maybe you could donate a copy to your favorite library!!
Many, many thanks --- and ALWAYS follow your dream when you can!!!
All the best, C and O
