Librarian Interview

I interviewed a librarian at Gaston County Library in Gastonia, North Carolina  to ask her questions about her job at the library, here is the conversation:
Question:"Who/What influenced you to become a librarian and why?"
Answer:"Having a positive relationship with grade school librarian's and I lived close to the public library and visited often. Also, when I was a Graduate student I worked in the library."
Question:"Do you like to read and what do you like to read?"
Answer:"Yes I love to read non fiction the most but I read a little bit of everything."
Question:"How can reading help people achieve goals in life?"
Answer:"If you are a good reader you generally have high verbal skills which means you would be able to understand comprehension."
Question:"Who is your favorite author and why?"
Answer:"Charles Dickens because he writes about history and I also enjoy Barbra Kingsolver."
Question:"Do you like being a librarian and why or why not?"
Answer:"Yes because no day is ever the same, there is lots of variety in what I do and I enjoy helping people."
Question:"What kind of books would you suggest to teenagers?"
Answer:"The Hunger Games, Books by Rick Riordan, G.P. Taylor,and Cornelia Funke."
Question:"Do you think that The Hunger Games is too gory, why or why not?"
Answer:"It can be a little bit but you don't have to read every detail and people get into the book so much that they don't pay it any attention."
Question:"Does a librarian get paid a lot and if not is it worth it?"
Answer:"No we don't get paid a lot because we work with the government but I believe it's worth it."
Question:"Is being a librarian fun, why or why not?"
Answer:"At times it can be but it is also a lot of hard work."
This interview was a lot of fun because I am a book worm and love to read and write, she also loves to read so I talked to her about books afterwards and also mentioned that I was writing a book, she asked me what my name was so she could buy my book! I have a video below that you can watch but it isn't my interview.

  1. I love books and reading nonfiction can be fun too. There is a huge space at the bottom of the post, i'd suggest clearing it.

  2. When stating a specific place like Bessmer City, NC, make sure to add a comma between the city and the state.

  3. Great job. Which library did you interview her a because you first have Gastonia, North Carolina but then you say Bessemer City. Gastonia and Bessemer City are two different places. Close to each other but different. Keep up the good work.
