<h1>Female Librarian</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p style="margin-top:60px;"> Weekends in the children's reading room was always quiet, the only events that took place were returning the books at the lady librarian's desk, stamping books before leaving to borrow home. Returning, borrowing, reading, spending a whole afternoon there. Only this one time I remembered a particular event. A boy wanted to bring his friend in, who didn't have a library card. The lady librarian won't let him, he raised his voice and asked "Why lady, are you administering in such inhumane way?" As I heard this at other side of the room my mind was in entire shock, one child hearing another mentioning the concept of being "inhumane in public administration". It was an astonishment, the lady librarian let his friend in eventually. </p>

<p>My grandmother was a librarian. I'd never thought of that. She studied biology and worked as a qualification examiner in the meat packing factory. "So you decide if the pig die or not", I summarized her job. She later contributed the fact that she had committed karma as a cause to her ongoing illness.</p>

|
|
<p>She's worked in the meat packing factory as her first job for decades, before working as a librarian in university library until retirement.</p>

<h1>Accounts From My Father: How Grandmother Become a Librarian</h1>
|
||
|
|
|

<p>After the free market reform, the meat packing factory became an enterprise working unit; enterprise unit generates more revenues than public institution; at that time, the meat packing factory lacked advantages during planned economy (as opposed to market economy); everyone can buy meat freely. Besides that, we lived on the university compound, it was very far away for her to communte to the factory. On days of snow she tripped several times. So the only solution was transfer to the university library. After all public institution is a gurantee for stable pension after retirement. After grandma was transferred to the university library, her former colleagues were only entitled for a regular factory worker's basic salary during their retirement.</p>

<p>It was also planned that grandma can be transferred to the biology department and become a teacher there, but, during the audition, grandma was left-handed, so her lecture notes written on the board were from right to left, so it was settled that grandma wasn't fit for being a teacher. At the end she was transferred to work at the library.</p>

<p>But, every benefit comes with shortcoming, despite relative easy work at the library, she spent lot of time reading novels; it was a cause for her later cervical spondylosis. She read lots of biographies, books on history...Because after all, what can you do working in a library? What can you think of she could do, in the <a href="union_library.html">employee's library</a>?</p>

|
<p>An additional note, because the meat packing factory could provide employees with sufficient supply of meat, working there was an entitlement, a symbol of privileged class.</p>
