Meet a worm-eating, stereotype-challenging, irrepressible librarian

The ResourceShelf man writes “One From Idaho on Jillian Subach, The new head of The Meridian Library District youth services department. Subach, who hails most recently from Cincinnati, is a trained classical pianist/book fiend. She is one of that new generation of librarians First Lady Laura Bush called for a couple of years ago to fill the looming librarian shortage as Baby Boomer information gurus prepare to retire en masse. On a recent Friday morning, Subach sheds adult propriety long enough to eat a writhing earth worm to reward Meridian kids for reading more than 7,000 hours this summer.”

    Mmmm, worms!

    And I thought I was brave from having eaten one of these at a reptile show (I drew the line at this however…)

    She sounds like a real, um, inspiration to the kids. 🙂
