Last night was my official first night volunteering at the library. SO MUCH FUN! Who would have thought that it would be the best "job" I've had in years.
I started off learning the computer system to check out books and return them. Then we placed a few inter-library loans, then we re-shelved the children's books and helped a few patrons find what they were looking for. The atmosphere, the smell of the books, the faint hum of the computers and the quiet giggle of the young teen checking her e-mail.
My favorite quote of all time sums my thoughts up quite nice. Jorge Luis Borges once said that "I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library."

OMG!!! WOLFIE! You're back. Heehee.
I'm actually starting work there (for real, getting paid and everything) next week. It's a twelve week position and then hopefully off to South Korea for me.
