I love how Larson suggests that story time “allows” a librarian to be a performer! I’m quite happy to roll up to story time with my kids and have a bit of a nursery rhyme sing-along with the crowd – if I was leading the story time though, I think there would be stage fright to overcome. Certainly a skill worth practicing and with repetition the trepidation would wear off but still, I’m not sure how many librarians could whack “performer” on their CV straight up!
