You Know You Work In A Children's Library When....

~you laugh at the wildly popular yet misinformed statement "libraries are quiet", because your workplace is anything but.

~someone asks you who wrote the Froggy series and you answer without needing to think, "Jonathan London".

~you have daily moments of nostalgia when you encounter books you loved as a child.

~you feel like you're living in a Hydra--whenever you put away one book, two more appear in its place.

~you start answering your personal phone by saying "Youth services, this is ___, how may I help you?"

~after someone calls in and asks you what the capital of Bulgaria is and you transfer them to Information because you have no idea, you turn to your coworkers and say, "You can ask me who wrote the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, but don't ask me what the capital of Bulgaria is."

~your mind is blown when you realize Cam Jensen is not only a girl, but her real name is Jennifer.

~by the end of the summer, even as a book lover you're tempted to say "I'm so tired of books!"

~you are in danger of being killed in an unpleasant and untraceable way by your coworkers if you ever say "it's quiet in here"...because as soon as you say it, the masses enter.

~just about every day you see an adorable baby or an insanely cute kid and want to take them home!

~when someone talks about Beverly Cleary or Donald Sobol you say "I love their books!", but when someone talks about Nicholas Sparks or David Baldacci, you say, "Who?"

~you love your job, even at the most trying of times.
