Library Job

Library Job

In the summer of 1959 or 60 I got a chance to work as a Library Paige at Tyrrell Public Library in downtown Beaumont. The role of a Library Paige is to put books returned by patrons back on the shelves – IN THE RIGHT PLACE. Beyond that, straightening books on the shelves, known as the stacks, was a part of the job as well as doing miscellaneous jobs assigned by Miss Porter, the librarian to whom I reported.
