It Was Love at First Line “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…” “Call me Ishmael.” “It was a dark and stormy night…” The first line of a book can reel you in, make you laugh out loud or put it back on the shelf. Writing that first line has caused a lot of hand-wringing among authors or thrown them into instant writer’s block. What ones grabbed you? Check out this list of well-known and not-so-well-known first lines. Maybe a new one will speak to you.

1. Why did you decide to become a librarian? When I first started library school, I was interested in becoming an archivist and the goal was to find a job at a museum or film archive. That changed when I took two internships: one at a special library in a museum and the other at a public library. I instantly fell in love with public librarianship! I loved working and connecting with the people of the community as well as the social work aspect of the field. I then decided to focus my studies on public librarianship. 2. Why is it important for the Tigard Library to offer services and programs for Spanish-speaking patrons? One of the many wonderful things about public libraries is that everyone is welcome. And that is especially true at the Tigard Library. By offering services and programs to our Spanish-speaking patrons, we are letting them know that we see them, we recognize their needs and we acknowledge that they are a part of the Tigard community. 3. What do you like most about working at Tigard Library? Two things: the wonderful Tigard community and my colleagues!
