A librarian helped me find the book my son requested today. She knew the plot & the characters & even pointed me to the newest story from the series in case he might enjoy that too. Then she recommended other #books he might like.

When I thanked her, she simply shook her head explaining, “It’s my job. And I really love my job!”

I share this anecdote simply bc librarians are the best people 📚✨
