Hi
Just a little about me - live in Australia, just over an 1hr from Sydney. Work in a Public Library as a Children's Collection Development Librarian (rather fancy title), really I profile, select, purchase and catalogue all the kids & teen books for my library. Its a job that I absolutely love. Have only ever worked in Public Libraries - I feel strongly about Public Libraries being an integral part part of the community. I love the diversity of the work and the people I meet. I love the exposure to the wealth of printed and (non-print) material - but having said that I did read Stephenie Meyers draft of Midnight Sun - I was determined - it took me all of 1 weekend (stopping & starting) & through that exercise I learnt something very important about myself - I like books - the real deal - I want to hold it & take it where ever I want to take it, I want to turn the pages and just feel the weight of it in my hands, the excitement & sometimes sadness as I creep closer & closer to its end - I just didn't enjoy the experience of reading off a screen - while the story kept me going back for more, I just kept thinking Please Ms Meyer finish the book and let me buy it and read it in comfort - I suppose I'm just an old fashioned girl.
