While I have never had an "official" mentor, there have been plenty of librarians who have made a difference in my life. As a newly qualified librarian working in a small public library, I had my eyes opened to a wider world of opportunity by a boss who gently "pushed" me to broaden my horizons. Later, joining a larger organization, I was exposed to many senior librarians, who provided role models. As relationships developed with these colleagues I felt able to seek them out for advice. I have found that librarians like to help, and as mentioned in an earlier blog entry, there is a lot of goodwill in the library profession.
