Each month, an ALSC member is profiled and we learn a little about their professional life and a bit about their not-so-serious side. Using just ten questions, we try to keep the profiles fun while highlighting the variety of members in our organization. This month, our candidate was randomly selected and was kind enough \u2013 and brave enough \u2013 to agree to participate. So, without further ado, welcome to our ALSC profile, ten questions with ALSC member, Terrie Dorio<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

1. What do you do and how long have you been doing it?<\/strong><\/strong>\"\"<\/p>\n

I have been a youth services librarian since 1979, working at the Main and branch libraries of the Santa Monica Public Library.\u00a0 I am now the branch manager of one of the branches and continue to be the youth services librarian there.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 How long have you been an ALA member?<\/strong><\/p>\n

26 years<\/strong><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Why did you join ALSC?<\/strong><\/p>\n

To meet other children\u2019s librarians, attend conferences, and participate in committees.\u00a0 I also think it is important to support the national, state and local organizations of your profession.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 What are you proudest of having accomplished in your professional career?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Making the library a welcoming place for all kids and teens, one where they feel at home, whether they are here to check books out, do homework or just hang out.\u00a0 Also, demonstrating to other librarians that working as both a branch manager & youth services librarian can work.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Sudoku or Crosswords?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sudoku, but KenKen is even better!<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 If you could have dinner with one author \u2014 living or dead \u2014 who would it be and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shakespeare \u2014 did he really write the plays?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Favorite part of being a Children\u2019s Librarian?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The variety of everything \u2014 telling stories to toddlers in the morning, seeing an elementary school class later and working with teens in the afternoon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Do you prefer hot weather or cold weather?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a native southern Californian and work in a beach city so I\u2019ll have to go with warm<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 What would I find in your refrigerator right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leftovers.\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

10. What inspires you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a clich\u00e9, but it is the children and teens I work with.\u00a0 How can you not be inspired by them?<\/p>\n
