That's really cool that you're fluent in Hebrew. For my bat mitzvah prep a year ago I had to start by learning the alphabet! Now I can read but I don't know what it means. Seems like you are very good at languages!

hi, Flamie! lol I work at a library too—I volunteer ever week for an hour or two with an organization paired with my library and sort books for their book sales. It's a lot of work, but if I find a book I want to read while sorting the donations then I can take it home and read it :D so now my to-read shelf is immense...

Library gang?? I work desk at my local library XD. Its super chill, I just get to scan books, help students rent out computers (my library partners with the public schools and loans out laptops for students who might need one), and make the occasional phone call. And sometimes i get to read a book or watch Adventure Time on my phone or something to that affect while I wait for people to need my assitance... so yeah, chill job.
