 The job was at a suburban library outside of Chicago, and it was only for 20 hours a week. On paper, it probably wasn't the best job for me to be applying for. I would have to spend a lot of money on gas, and I would still need to find another job since it was only part-time. But I did apply for it, and I got it. And I've been working in or with public libraries ever since, which is a little over 20 years now.
