My interview with success story, Rhonda<\/em>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Naomi: How did you find your current job?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rhonda:<\/strong>I always look on the INALJ<\/a> pages, but a friend sent me the email listing for my new job.<\/p>\n

Naomi: Favorite library you have been to?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Rhonda: <\/strong>My absolute favorite library to visit so far, I have a few but, the British Library is absolutely amazing.\u00a0 From the Kings thrones to the Kings tower (o\u2019 Books), the library is really something to see.\u00a0 As a student, I wrote to the British Library and asked for a behind the scenes tour and they were nice enough to take me around the library.\u00a0 If you like a behind the scenes tour, I would suggest writing to the library where you will be visiting and asking for a tour.\u00a0 It never hurts and the worst that can happen is they say no\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Naomi: Favorite book?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rhonda: <\/strong>The book I come back to, again and again, is Restoree<\/em> by Anne McCaffrey.\u00a0 When I am feeling overwhelmed and stressed, this book helps me to put it in perspective.\u00a0 I have probably read this book at least 10 times over the years.\u00a0 I can\u2019t explain it\u2026but it works for me.\u00a0 I also like anything by Neil Gaiman. <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Naomi: Favorite thing about libraries\/ library technology?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rhonda: <\/strong>Technology makes life easier, at least until the power goes off, and I can share the information with many more people at the click of a mouse.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Naomi: Any websites or feeds or blogs we should be following?<\/strong><\/p>\n
