The CML

I suppose my love for paper extends not only to my double major (English and magazines, aka I constantly have (or should have) a book in my hand), but also I where I work. Last fall I started working at the Curriculum Materials Library, a magical little place in Aderhold that is half children's books and half text books. I love it there. I'm not a huge fan of the huge math and science and history books that I have to lug around and put on shelves. (I know that one day, one is going to fall on my head, and it will hurt. I am not looking forward to this day.) But I love the children's lit side of it. Sometimes the colourful pictures and interesting titles pose problems because I cannot shelve very well while reading, but I love that fact that I spend my time amidst all these happy little tales. Some I've picked up aren't so happy, but there's something about children's literature, a magic that still remains in them. I must confess that I have not checked out just a few. It's so nice to have that light reading every now and then. I enjoy handling all the books, and it always makes my day when I can tell someone loves the books as much as I do. Sometimes actual children come in, and it's the best day ever. I love the CML. It's a wonderful place to work. I'm so glad it's in my life.
