Experiences at Hagaman Memorial Library

For me, it's the grocery store, the post office, a bus stop on the New Haven line, a family friend's shop (at the time), and home.

The people. Hagaman is always full of people, and most of them were regulars. I miss seeing the patrons and the librarians every day, since going to the library often is something I haven't worked back into my schedule after graduating from college.

Memorize the Dewey Decimal System and the layout of the library you work for. That's probably the best thing you can do as a library page because it saves a lot of time when you're replacing books on the shelves.

It was my first job, and I love books. I guess it was a very good combination for me.

I was recommended for the job by a family friend who was in the library's employ at the time.

I walked to work; the library is near my house.
