1. You are around all different kinds of books (You don’t just go for the same genre that you normally would.)

2. At the library I work at, you don’t ever get fines, you can keep books for as long as you want as long as they don’t have any holds on them.

3. I have lists of books I wish to read, and it keeps getting bigger since I am constantly seeing new books.

4. For my job, I am required to “get lost” in between the book shelves.

5. I love helping people, but with this job, I only have to deal with the patrons when they approach me. We can ask patrons if they want help, but we are only required to help if they approach us, unlike most “customer service” related jobs.

6. You get to work with books, movies and C.D.’s the whole time. Who doesn’t love entertainment?

7. Patrons are usually always in a good mood at the library. (It’s a place of recreation)

8. Putting the books away is often relaxing, looking at the numbers for a certain amount of time distracts your mind from the worries of tomorrow.

9. I love the smell of old books.

10. Sometimes I make my reading list based off of what I have shelved the most.
