I created Civil, Civil Servant because there is a kindness missing from human interactions in the workplace, both between coworkers and in service to the public.
Originally, I thought this blog would transcend the library field, which is where I work; but, my experience is so entrenched in library service that Civil Civil Servant seems to have evolved into a truly library centric blog. Well, at least, most of my stories are library centric!
I am a Senior Librarian at a mid sized, East Coast, suburban library. I handle the emerging technology issues and act as a trainer. I also get to select in many areas, my favorites being: graphic novels and religion.
I’m also stumbling along a Buddhist path and am highly influenced by that choice. I’m a visual artist and a writer and just a creative maker of things. I think that when people ask me what I do, I should just answer, “Make stuff (artist) and Find Stuff (librarian) and Teach Stuff (librarian). That pretty much sums it up.
Thank you for taking the time to read and (hopefully) participate in the conversation I am starting on this blog.
Sincerely,
Ann Wilberton, Kindness Evangelist
