1. The librarians! You didn’t think I’d write a whole post about the library being awesome without giving myself a little shout-out, did you? 🙂 Seriously, though, as librarians our most important job is to help you. Whether it’s suggesting a great book to read, locating books you can’t find, or assisting you with just about anything else (we’ve heard it all!), we’re happiest when you’re happy.
