As a future librarian, thank you! This is awesome.
the “reading books” part is missing in the librarian’s weekly tasks.
Reading books plays almost no part in my weekly tasks. It’s done almost entirely on my own time away from the library. I don’t actually know of any librarians who are able/allowed to read “on the job”. Funny, though, that that’s the impression a lot of people have.
