She's talking about ME!

"In 1905, [Frances Jenkins] Olcott described the characteristics of the ideal applicant to the training school for children's librarians at the Carnegie Library:

Sympathy with and respect for children, strength of character, a genial nature, a pleasing personality, an instinct for reading character, adaptability, and last but not least, a strong sense of humor. [Her] home training and education should have given her a love and knowledge of books, a fund of general information, a quick and accurate mind. These qualities are difficult to find combined in one person (p. 75)."

--from Walter, Virginia A. (2001). Children & libraries: Getting it right. Chicago: ALA Editions.

Difficult to find in one person, but, dude, that is SO me to a T.

I AM that person!
