I wasn't sure what to think when I saw your posting on Craigslist, but then I went to your site, and saw the books, the special events, and what I would be doing. Now I want in!
I'm the one at the store that would face out all the books and DVDs that were at my checkstand, during slow times. I'm the one who made sure that the DVDs were with the tags, and that the area looked clean and well-kept. I was the cashier who had the nicest looking and the cleanest checkstand.
I'm the one who checks out Publisher's Weekly from the library, to see who and what is coming on the market. I'm the one who volunteers at the school media center. I've organized fund-raising events and group activities.
I'm the one you want for the Bend, Oregon position!
Hire me!

Ray Bradbury Tribute #4
Ray Bradbury Tribute #4 is now on display at the Deschutes County Library, Bend Downtown Branch.
This is for his famous Fahrenheit 451, which I found first as the movie, on a black and white television. I really don't remember much about it, but I do remember that I was fascinated. The last part of the movie had a quote about a tree, that its leaves were for the healing of the nations. I wanted to know more about it, it sounded so exotic, and I ended up going through the whole Bible, as the one I borrowed didn't have an index. Wouldn't you know it, it was in the Book of Revelations 22:2, the last chapter of the whole thing. I think I was about 10, maybe 12 years old.
Stained glass windows show up in many of his stories. The real life window in his grandparents' house was pretty similar to this one: a set of square pieces of colored glass, set around the inside of a rectangular, horizontal window frame. There is a photograph of it in "The Bradbury Chronicles," his biography.
Tribute #1 is for Dandelion Wine; #2, From the Dust Returned; #3, The Martian Chronicles.
Note: August is Ray Bradbury's birthmonth. He will be 91 on August 22nd.
