From library school to the school library

I always swore I wouldn't spend time reading other people's blogs, nor blog myself, since I know so many bloggers and people-who-depend-on-blogs whom I'd rather not know.

Now, of course, that I have thrown in the towel and started blogging, I do read other librarian blogs, and I have to say that they give me some reassurance that I am not the only librarian in the world who believes the "shortage" in the profession is a myth; not the only librarian who feels the leadership gets too involved with issues that they really ought to stay out of or at least calm down about; and not the only librarian who feels that the ivory tower has not gone to bat for the real working world of librarianship. Being that it's been just a couple years since I've gone from library school to the school library, I really didn't know.
