Friday Fiction: Losing Oneself

It’s the end of the semester for me, the last semester after five years of studying part-time for my library degree from UIUC. I feel a bit like I’m losing my mind. School has been a good thing all around, and recent courses have been highly relevant to my current projects, but I look forward to putting that effort toward my Editions work.

For this Friday’s Fiction, I’ve selected one of Jennie’s pieces that reminds me of my current state of mind, and perhaps yours too on a Friday . . .

Losing Oneself

Getting lost in the stacks was a common occurrence. Staff members would go to the stacks to check a title, never to be seen again. Occasionally, one would resurface weeks later, appearing from nowhere, dazed and confused. As a Coordinator of Off-Campus User Services, she was immune to this, instead losing herself in distance services . . .
