I have been the town librarian for fifteen years and I love helping people find what they need but sometimes I wonder if I should have tried to change education policy or write books instead.
More people experience this than they realize.
The quiet satisfaction of consistent help conflicts with fantasies of larger influence and recognition.
“Where Are You with Small legacy vs. great legacy — do scale and ambition matter??”
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
