orangerfulThis was in my Facebook inbox this morning from one of the librarians at a near-by branch. I had to share because it makes me feel awesome. :)
Tonight I had a young lady, senior in high school, come into the branch with her family. Her siblings were registering for src and so I told her about the teen component. Her face lit up and she started telling me how she didn't like reading until she visited SPK. She said her dad told her she couldn't leave till she had a book in hand. She dragged herself to the info desk and you were the one who helped her. (well I decided it had to be you when she described your enthusiasm) She told you the only book she ever enjoyed was Hunger Games. At this point she said the librarian became so excited she was spazzing out. It was pretty funny she starting waving her arms etc and you recommended several titles but I remember The Uglies. She said she read every one and rattled off other titles that I've seen you post about. I asked her if she were on teen facebook and she said no so I told her about it and that she could get more recommendations from you there. She said please tell her everything you see here, and she waved her hand from her head to her feet, is all because of her! It was very sweet. I hope she tries to get in touch and tell you herself.
How awesome is that? Usually I worry (after the fact) that my spazzing will scare the children away from reading. But apparently she found it endearing and really enjoyed the books I gave her. So, YAY!
