AUDIO TRANSCRIPT
Speaker: I saw your advertisement when I went to the library last week, and I would like to apply for the position. I have two children and we’ve lived in the local area since 2018. As a family, we’ve always loved reading; in fact, I’ve just finished reading Tolkien’s The Hobbit out loud to my kids, aged 9 and 11. It was a magical experience, and it made me realize how important it is to share stories with children. I’ve also worked part-time for a bookstore for around five years, so I have some understanding of the publishing industry.
By the way, have you ever thought about starting a book club for adults? I’d also be interested in running a project like that. I’ve never seen anything similar around here and I’m sure it would be popular.
