Not long ago library media specialist Tere posted to LM_Net that she was “caught” reading during the school day. Her co-workers reactions? “Well you would have thought I was lying down taking a nap. Everybody that walked by my door … made a comment. “I’m going to give you a job.” “If you’ve got time to read, I’ve got something for you to do.” etc. Next time, I’m going to go hide behind the stacks to read!”
Another LMS, Allan, soon posted an interesting reaction:
“I don’t give a hoot what people think of me or what I am doing. When I have received a remark about “wouldn’t it be nice if…. [one could read on the job]?” I have responded. “Yes it is very nice.” If I am feeling a little nasty or don’t like the tone of the remark, I have responded “I would be more than happy to get you some information about a library school …”
While many of us have probably wished we could say these sorts of things, we don’t. And for some good reasons including job security and our concern about how others view our profession. (Continued in Library Media Connection)
