Working at a public library is a great career for someone who loves to learn! You are exposed to so many different ideas and for me, it doesn't take much to capture my interest and then begin the trek toward learning about the idea. I love reading--what a concept that someone who works in a library enjoys reading, right? And I learn a lot from reading fiction. I read romances and they really do have a lot of information. You can learn about how different people live and how they interact with others. You can learn about places that you know and more often places you don't know. You really can be an armchair traveler just by reading romances. If you read historical romances, you learn a lot about how things were during the time period you are reading about and the romance authors will tell you that their readers don't let them get away with not getting it right!
