I've been at Grabill Branch for about 6 months now, and I continue to be excited about meeting new patrons and finding out about their interests, as well as getting to know the other folks who work here. I've met many patrons who are also interested in farming, rural living, animal husbandry, and books and reading.Since I've moved from an urban branch to a rural branch, I'm now in the minority in my political and religious views. I'm a pants-on-fire liberall, and most of the people I serve are very conservative. While it was fun to serve urban patrons who were "like me," there's something essential that I'm trying to learn about serving people with a different world view than the one I have. I haven't really figured it out yet, but I'm working on it.
