Jennifer St. Clair is very cool and I would love to work there. It is a job I'd keep forever unless I moved anywhere. I am confident it pays well. I love the work environment she described to me. They do youth conferences and help professors and a few students do research. There are also subject specialists. The possibilities were sweet when she shared them with me. I asked her about Dave Staheli who told me he worked at the LDS History Library. She told me very bluntly that he was an intern and did not work there. He should be very careful about sharing that when it isn't true. I love what Jennifer told me about the opportunities available to work at the library AND be active in ULA, ALA and the Mormon Historical Society. She edits the Mormon Historical Society's publication. That is sooo cool!!! I like that she seems fairly young too. She isn't the stereotypical librarian and I really like that.

This job would be perfection. It is sooo close to my mother's house. I always wanted a job that would let me interact with people. I want a job that pays decently AND allows me to become a subject expert for the church. The church seems to be much more transparent now. I love it. I love that half of the church history library employees are members of the Mormon History Association. I would love to be the Pacific Islander expert there.

The idea of being paid to develop my interests, to write about what I love and then even write for the church is amazing. I felt very good about my interview and they are looking for 2 people. I could sooo grow with a position there. While it's not the community or public library work I hoped to do, it is something even cooler.
