I would be interested to know how HS librarians feel about this. It is not
as much of a perk when you are trying to keep up with 200 plus page novels.
(I am a slow, deliberate reader.) And I still can't bring myself to read
some of the popular ones like Cirque du Freak. With the little time I have,
I at least want to read the ones I think I will enjoy. Sometimes I have to
settle for the first couple chapters. And sometimes I just ask the kids that
have read them.

Education is not a goal; it is a life-long process. Everyone is a student.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had time to read during the workday!
No, I take piles of books home to read, especially if I plan to book talk
them or read them aloud to students, or if I have a question about who is
the right audience. Fortunately, I consider it a perk of the job!
