My Daughter, the Librarian

Sunnie, the younger of our two daughters, called me today to ask me a question. It went something like this: “Dad, when do you think somebody can call themselves a librarian, when they get the Master’s degree or when they get a job as a librarian.” I responded, “the latter.” She then announced, “Well, then I’m a librarian.”

Sunnie has been determined to be a librarian since, at the age of eight, she became the youngest volunteer at the library in the town we lived in at that time. Then she became the first paid “shelver” in the same library at age 13.

Now, nearing the end of her graduate studies for the degree of Master of Information and Library Sciences (MILS), she will be a Reference Librarian in the library system of a good-sized city.

We are very proud of her. You go, Sunnie, the librarian.
