I have 2 younger kids and I work as a homemaking dad. My oldest child is a junior. My youngest daughter is 9.  My 9 year old likes to watch TV. I worked 10 years in human services. My father helps watch the kids. My wife makes more money at her job. My children like to go shopping at Home Depot where my father used to be a manager. My wife and I can't retire for some time. I had been waiting for new furniture. I had customized the couch which is why it took so long. I like deep seat couches. I like to read. I will take my kids to the library. I will encourage my highschooler to research his term paper at the library.
My kids are grown and I'm 60 years old. My two kids are good, one is a lawyer, the other is a carpenter. I work as a librarian and plan to retire soon. Being a librarian is great.  I enjoy helping students with term papers. I would be happy to help my grandkids when I get them. Although, I don't have FaceBook. I like to learn new things. I am interested in learning how to use Facebook. I am not familiar with deep seat couches. I have an old couch that has been reupholstered. I cannot tell the difference between different types of couches. I am an old lady.
Do you find learning new technology hard? Do you prefer researching in books or using online databases? It is getting harder and harder. I do not know if it is because of my age or because technology is moving fast, but my kids hate when I ask them for help. Books are much better for me even though I have to change to my reading glasses Luckily, books aren't very technological.  What is your favorite book recommendation for someone who doesn't read much? The funny thing is there are not really books to learn things like facebook. I have to use the computer to learn those things. So i couldn't even tell you what books to use! It's kind of disheartening. Libraries are dying It is sad seeing libraries being used less often.  I used to love going as a kid.  How did you become a librarian? It's not a very good story actually, my mom was a librarian and I looked up to her so much that I wanted to be like her. I had no idea libraries would become obsolete in my lifetime Do you think libraries will disappear completely/ I don't know if they will disappear completely, but I would not be surprised if they just became digitized. The only hope is that no one wants to do it for free like the library does Ah, yeah I can see digital libraries happening more often.  Hopefully too many people don't lose their jobs. I'm lucky I was able to make a living off of it in my lifetime, but I feel sorry for anyone who is training to become a librarian now. That is really hard for me to say Will you still volunteer at the library when you retire? I do love the library and I will help if I am really needed, but I want to go on a very long vacation. I've more than earned it
