Lisa K – Shover of Furniture, Maker of Teen Programs
What a thrill to be honored alongside so many other impressive S&M-types! As a Young Adult Librarian in Henrico County, Virginia, I work tirelessly to make teens feel valued by offering them programs they are sometimes interested in, listening to them go on at length about Twilight or Percy Jackson, and affording them opportunities to earn those treasured volunteer hours required by a number of local schools.
This year afforded me several opportunities to shove furniture around, push massive book sale donations into corners, yank out shelves and put them together in more useful arrangements, haul around comic books, tote snacks for ravenous teens, and even roll book trucks around on the occasional shelving mission. I value each of these exciting opportunities for personal growth.
I have been know to say a word or two about libraries on my blog, Capital City Desk and to use other flashy web 2.0 thingies like Flickr. I even learned to podcast this month — a sure sign that it is no longer cool.
Thank you for this honor!
Lisa K, Henrico, Virginia
