My name is Tori Tiso.
What being a librarian means to me is that
I get to
be a part of a community
that loves to read and that is maybe
growing readers
or trying to read more.
We asked Tori what led her to becoming a librarian.
I started working with my
local librarian
and realized, wait a second,
I really enjoy reading
books to children.
My favorite part of my job
is truly connecting with
children and their caregivers.
they're little bit shy,
they're a little bit unsure,
and then by the end of the month they go,
"miss tori! miss tori!
i need to tell you about my glow-up shoes."
What makes librarians so special?
librarians, I've always
really liked to say are
the bridge between
people and resources.
Those resources could be books,
those resources could be job materials,
those resources could be,
figuring out what coffee shop
i want to go to this morning.
and so being a librarian is so special
because I get to be
a connector and a builder.
I also get to be a part
of a community where
I'm connecting people.
