I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with a piece of land I’ve had back in my hometown. It’s been vacant since 1995.
Years back I thought of building a 5-door rental apartment. I had the floor plans all drawn out, back-filled the area with more dirt soil and put up fence around it. I actually started applying for a loan thru Pag-ibig to finance the construction but I found the whole application process too cumbersome.
I lost interest.
Meanwhile, my library project still remains a dream as I struggle to come up with enough resources to support the project let alone find the ideal location to build it.
I’m still dreaming.
Then a bulb started flickering one lazy boring Friday afternoon at work. My imagination didn’t stop scribbling and ended up with really rough sketches of a multi-purpose building with my retirement crib at the bottom floor and a decent-size library with living quarters on top.

For years I have this empty lot and yet didn’t think about it for my dream project. I said “Hmmm heck why not?
Sometimes we lose sights of what we already have and keep wishing for something else.
Location may not be ideal for a public library but sure good enough for my retirement crib, satisfying my longings for both. If people, especially kids, would want to take advantage of a library, be it anywhere, they will use it. Free.
If I build it, they will come.
It will be more like a privately-owned library I can enjoy for myself once I retire and can be opened to the general public as well. I will design the building so that there’s a separate public access to the library and a private entry to my retirement home.
What I would need however is someone to manage the library during the times I’m not hanging around in my crib and also to take care of me when I become too old, cranky, grumpy, and incontinent. My wife made it clear to me that she will not retire in the Philippines. I will.
So help is wanted. :-)

i feel discriminated!
we've talked about this...and you know that you know who would exactly qualify...
you forgot something else...computer proficient and plays the guitar =)
I think those slightly 'over' can still apply but not for the position of 'sexy' librarian. Perhaps that person can help carry books, be a bouncer/security person or just be an imposing figure to ensure peace and order at the library. I think our webmaster also forgot to mention that this position is purely voluntary, a labor of love, in short no salary involved.
Now, any takers, anyone......?
sorry "over 45 guy and not sexy". somehow I have to set the minimum requirements.
computer proficient and plays the guitar are pluses of course...
there's free board and lodging for compensation. :-)
hahaha! how about me?
if it wasn't for the fact that i am in the uk, i'd love to be your sexy librarian!
