Some people work a job all their lives and for them, it is only a way to make a living. But Carole and Russ Cassidy are lucky. They-worked-as special education teachers with interest and got lots of satisfaction. Now they are retired (已退休的) and luck is still with them.
"We just didn't want to be sitting and not doing anything," Carole said. "We tried several things. but they were not meant for us." Soon, they found the Princeton Public Library's Children's Storytime program and wanted to get involved. "We were lucky. They came and found us and asked to volunteer." Rebecca Marrs. Children's Librarian at the Princeton Public Library said. Marrs said the kids loved the retired special education teachers.
Marrs began the Children's Storytime program-at the-Princeton Public Library about eight years ago. The Book Babies program, for newborns to 3-yeat-olds, is held on Thursday and the Preschool program takes place (举行) on Friday.
The Cassidys and Marrs said that they didn't expect the children to sit still during the storytime. They understand that children can listen while playing." I love being with kids. I enjoy watching kids playing together and using their imagination most," Carole said. "For example, I asked them why they made a robot with bricks (积木) and they explained it to me. Their imagination is so good."
