My interview with success story Dana<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nNaomi: <\/strong>How did you find your current job?
\nDana: <\/strong>I found my current job first on the INALJ website<\/a>, then I had heard that the position hadn’t been filled by a relative who saw the posting in a local newspaper.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Favorite library you have been to?
\nDana: <\/strong>I think my favorite library is currently the one I work in. When I went for my initial interview, my mouth dropped open at the size and layout. It is very child-friendly and almost every children’s book that has been published in the last 20 years appear on the shelves.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Favorite book?
\nDana: <\/strong>I have more than one favorite book. They include To Kill a Mockingbird<\/em>, the Harry Potter series, and anything by Kathy Reichs.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Favorite thing about libraries\/library technology?
\nDana: <\/strong>I think my favorite thing about libraries are the possibilities that I have. I can read a mystery, romance, children’s book, historical fiction, fantasy. The list is endless and I love that I can sit and browse for hours without arousing a raised eyebrow from anyone.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Any websites or feeds or blogs we should be following?
\nDana: <\/strong>One website that I follow is Free Technology 4 Teachers<\/a>. It is a great website that gives school librarians fantastic insight into what to teach next, or what to share with their co-teachers for classroom use.<\/p>\n

Naomi: <\/strong>Best piece of job hunting advice?
\nDana: <\/strong>My advice to job seekers is to just keep pursuing your dream. It took me two years to find this job, but I never gave up hope that I would be doing what I love for a living.<\/p>\n
