1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,901
My name is Tori Tiso.

2
00:00:01,901 --> 00:00:04,501
What being a librarian means to me is that

3
00:00:04,501 --> 00:00:05,767
I get to

4
00:00:05,767 --> 00:00:07,000
be a part of a 
community

5
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,834
that loves to read and that is maybe

6
00:00:09,834 --> 00:00:11,267
growing readers

7
00:00:11,267 --> 00:00:13,534
or trying to
read more.

8
00:00:13,534 --> 00:00:15,868
We asked Tori
what led her to
becoming a
librarian.

9
00:00:15,868 --> 00:00:17,200
I started working with my

10
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:18,567
local librarian

11
00:00:18,567 --> 00:00:20,000
and realized,
wait a second,

12
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,734
I really enjoy reading

13
00:00:21,734 --> 00:00:23,000
books to children.

14
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,434
My favorite
part of my job

15
00:00:24,434 --> 00:00:25,634
is truly
connecting with

16
00:00:25,634 --> 00:00:27,234
children and
their caregivers.

17
00:00:27,234 --> 00:00:28,767
they're little bit shy,

18
00:00:28,767 --> 00:00:30,133
they're a little bit unsure,

19
00:00:30,133 --> 00:00:31,701
and then by the end of the month they go,

20
00:00:31,701 --> 00:00:32,834
"miss tori! miss tori!

21
00:00:32,834 --> 00:00:34,868
i need to tell you about
my glow-up shoes."

22
00:00:34,868 --> 00:00:37,067
What makes
librarians
so special?

23
00:00:37,067 --> 00:00:38,100
librarians,
I've always

24
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:39,033
really liked
to say are

25
00:00:39,033 --> 00:00:39,901
the bridge between

26
00:00:39,901 --> 00:00:41,534
people and resources.

27
00:00:41,534 --> 00:00:43,267
Those resources could be books,

28
00:00:43,267 --> 00:00:45,200
those resources could be job materials,

29
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,868
those resources could be,

30
00:00:46,868 --> 00:00:47,801
figuring out what
coffee shop

31
00:00:47,801 --> 00:00:49,100
i want to go to
this morning.

32
00:00:49,334 --> 00:00:51,400
and so being a librarian is so special

33
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:52,734
because I get to be

34
00:00:52,734 --> 00:00:54,200
a connector
and a builder.

35
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:55,067
I also get
to be a part

36
00:00:55,067 --> 00:00:56,434
of a community where

37
00:00:56,434 --> 00:00:58,100
I'm connecting people.
