[This Year's December Days Theme is Community, and all the forms that it takes. If you have some suggestions about what communities I'm part of (or that you think I'm part of) that would be worth a look, let me know in the comments.]
I know that we're not supposed to over-identify with our work, as, after all, our work will never love us back, but the first community that I thought of when I was coming up with the idea of this December Days was the greater group of people who call themselves children's librarians. (And teen librarians, a bit, too. I've been professionally teen-adjacent for all of my career, even if I've never officially been a teen librarian.)
( But first, a moment of professional spite and malice. )
Okay, moment of professional spite over.
( So what is the community of children's librarians like? )
