I’m Tanvi Rastogi, Youth Services Librarian at the Hunterdon County Library in NJ. Armed with a BA in Sociology, I decided to pursue librarianship because I believed in the idea of equal access to info; it wasn’t until after my first library job (as a shelver!) that my like of books evolved into a full-blown love. Now reading for me is as easy and urgent as breathing and loving. Every day I hope to share that excitement with kids and their parents.
I love all aspects of my job, but one of my favorite parts of each day is that moment of utter quiet just before I flip off the lights in the children’s department, when all the patrons have left for the night and the room is entirely mine. My library is, as Robert Cormier would have it, truly my treasure house.
