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.
