Thank you for serving as a "book fairy" to many! :) I am just beginning my life as a children's librarian, and hope to make it 20 years of wonderful stories and encouraging young readers. If I'm really lucky, I might get closer to 30! I envy your long run as a fun-providing storyteller. Best wishes to you! Emily in Michigan Congratulations, Nell, on your retirement.

I have been a children's librarian for over 25 years and , for sure, the favorite part of my job is storytime. I love the silly books ("The cow that laid an egg") and there is no sweeter sound than children laughing. Thanks for reminding me what a great job I have!
