  • My mum was a librarian for 20 years. Benefits include:

    Getting to read all the books before anyone else. Nobody complains if you are reading at work. No library fines for overdue books and no limit on how many books you can take out. Quiet work environment.

    I actually did an internship at the library - wonder how I manage to organise that - there is a large amount of repetitive manual labour involved as I recall it, mostly handled by the junior staff








  • So my parents were Catholic and Atheist respectively. I have great respect for religious beliefs but am an atheist myself.

    My town is very multi-cultural and due to the work I do, every year I am privileged to be invited to Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Jewish cultural events.

    I can happily say that the main thing that always strikes me is the friendliness of ordinary people from all faiths and walks of life.
