Rowling, authors and illustrators are pretty approachable. Even the shy ones are often pleased when you recognize them, or find out who they are and tell them you love their books.Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733517166056974501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-1151186744684708302006-06-24T15:05:00.000-07:002006-06-24T15:05:00.000-07:00Wow...I'm so jealous.

Now, all of the librarians are senior librarians, but at the time, when I was promoted to senior librarian, I had to take a hike and find my own children's room to run. I went out to Tatooine, which did indeed feel like the farthest edge from the bright center of the galaxy. I was miserable on Tatooine. No bright stars! (Well, there was one: Reg E. Gaines of "Bring in 'Da Noise, Bring in 'Da Funk". Reg E. Gaines would do poetry programs on Tatooine. Bless him.) <BR/><BR/>Anyway, that was how I was able to leave. I was miserable as a senior librarian on Tatooine, and the bright spots were my monthly meetings with other children's librarians. I really like working on a team, which is odd, because I don't think of myself as much of a team player. <BR/><BR/><B>Galetea</B>: I've never met Jealous Maximus, but I hear he's got a new book deal in the works, AND he's cuter than Joaquin Phoenix!:)Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733517166056974501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-1151075299899876802006-06-23T08:08:00.000-07:002006-06-23T08:08:00.000-07:00That's SO cool!

I was hoping that your first story would have ended up with you guys doing tequila shooters at some dive around 4:00am. Or are you just leaving that part out?Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06693590401750798739noreply@blogger.com
