"It is not difficult to do a good job when you love what you do. It doesn't matter if we are called librarians, media specialists, information specialists, we are above all educators. My most rewarding experiences as an educator have been interacting with hundreds and hundreds of wonderful young people, intelligent and motivated professionals and caring parents. I love what I do."~ Judy Serritella
