The CLA Government Library & IM Network has a weekly feature on their web site where they ask various librarians across Canada a standard set of 13 questions that helps give some insight into the wide variety of backgrounds, specializations and interests of people serving as librarians across Canada and beyond.
My own profile got posted the other day and beyond being included with a great group of established and emerging librarian friends, I was happy to get a really good response from friends who saw it on Facebook as well as many of my co-workers at RPL when I sent this link out to our “Fun Group” e-mail list.
My favourite comment came privately from a former colleague on Facebook:
I’m not sure what I liked more about this q&a: the random Flintstones reference, the image of you reading about the Hulk and Ginger Spice, the Vonnegut quote, or simply hearing your authentic passion, charm, and humour captured so well. I miss you, Jason Hammond. Thank you for injecting some of your fabulous-ness into my Monday.
