University Libraries Promotion and Tenure Recognition

"Does the walker choose the path or the path the walker?" I find myself coming back to the Old Kingdom series, and specifically this book, again and again. Nix has created a lush world, with one of the most creative magic systems I've ever read. Integral to the story is the Library of the Clayr, a place full of unknown treasures, both innocuous and otherwise. Lirael's journey through the librarian ranks, as she comes to understand both herself and the world around her, is deeply relatable, though I will hopefully not have to battle any elemental horrors in my own librarian career.
