The Life of a Librarian

One of my information marketing students has graduated and is now doing some promotional activities at her middle school. I've been asked to give a presentation on any topic, so I'm preparing a PowerPoint entitled "The Life of a Librarian," in which I hope to have plenty of pictures of local professionals performing interesting aspects of their jobs, or of interesting features of their libraries or collections, or even of library users.

I would be grateful for any pictures that can add an interesting dimension to this presentation, along with the name and position of the information professional pictured, perhaps with a description of your work that can be used as a quote. Once it's finished, I will send a copy to all contributors, so please be aware that the photos may be shared. Please send digital photos directly to me: lesher@maktoob.com. Thanks.
