library volunteering..

i love working at our little library..for a small town we have a great library. thanks to henrietta, she begs and borrows money to get books, computers,movies, audio tapes..she is so good at it..but she lacks people skills with kids.she is 3 days older than dirt and has lost her patience with teenages..but when im here they will come in and bs with me about stuff and i will steer them to things i think they would enjoy.. have several that are reading now that never did before.got one hooked on books on cars, trucks etc. and one girl now has become a real regular reading the harry potter books. i think a kid that reads and loves to read has a large head start on the world..some lady came in with 3 little girls from about 4 to 9 and they just checked in 17 books. she reads to them at naps and at bedtime... so cool.. well, it is starting to pick up so better look busy..have to recommend james lee burke to a mystery reader..also robert crais...
