Yes, I am a librarian. And I am private about who I really am. I love cats, books, coffee and tea equally, and psychology. I focus on the things I can control, like creating something new out of something crappy. And I fully believe that's the point of crap, to encourage creation and joy, like this site.
The librarian happiness project is not about me. This place is for helping those who are looking for happiness and meaning in the library world. A place to vent and a place to recover without being bombarded by addictive social media algorithms and the amygdala-triggering news.
So, enough about me and my thoughts. Please look around, share your joy, and focus on what is truly meaningful. And you want to scream into the void, so be it and feel it.
Then? Listen to Elsa.
Let it go.
