CSAWhy did you choose to work in a library?
My first job in a library was back in Elmhurst. At that time it was in an old, historic home, within walking distance to my house. When I saw the notice for a 12-hour-a-week page (CSA) position, it was too convenient to pass up. I really enjoyed being in that building. My supervisor’s desk was in front of a beautiful fireplace. The basement and attic were used for storage, so I got to experience all of it.Describe your job in five words or less.
