Brooks P. Castro
Children's librarian in Sacramento
- 🇺🇸 Sacramento, California, United States
- Sacramento Public Library
- 1995 to 2014
- English
For 19 years I looked after the shelves, the card catalog and the regulars at Sacramento Public Library.
I always had a bag of oranges in my drawer. A library should feel like a living room.
It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.
