Susan North is retiring after thirty years (wow) behind the desk of the Ames (IA) Public Library, to be, as she puts it a “nanny granny.”
In this interview in the Ames Tribune , North tells how she began working in a library while still a student at Iowa State, when she thought she might pursue a career as “the first female president of the United States”, a desire that faded quickly. Even in junior high and high school, North worked in her local (Waterloo) library. Speaking of her years at the library she said, “It has been great being a librarian. It’s always like we’ve been dispensing sweetness and light. Now just recently it’s been a little harder, what with some of the (controversial) film series and the advent of the Internet.”
