I’ve just come back from Darwin where amongst other things I finally graduated from university as a librarian. I found (now this may sound daft) that I have closure on that part of my life. I have been qualified since May 08 and working as a librarian at a university since then but I felt that something wasn’t quite “right”. It’s funny how a ceremony can make you feel this way, for me make me feel as if I am a bona fide librarian. Then again when I think about it, the word ‘rites of passage’ is embedded in my mind. Maybe its not so daft after all, when you look at it we as a race have had ceremonies for all facets of lives throughout history and maybe it’s just innate.
