 It sounds like it should be a movie. It has the makings of a summer blockbuster; mild mannered librarian reading stories to kids during the day, wielding a sword and having duels in the evening.
This is the life of Fayetteville's Ines Page. Ines has been with the Cumberland County Public Library system for more than 10 years. She is originally from El Salvador before she moved to Fayetteville with her husband, John Page. "I was in the United States for only a short time and I didn't speak English very well. I thought no one would hire me for a full time position so I started out as a volunteer."
At the time, she worked in the Circulation Department and was later hired full time, but she always wanted to work with children. When an opportunity opened to work in the children's department at the Cliffdale Branch, Ines took it and later transferred back to Headquarters Library. |
