Welcome to #FDL’s feature column, Five Questions, where we ask library staff and other East Peoria residents roughly the same five questions. For our next Five Questions column, we’re interviewing Susie Rivera, one of FDL’s reference specialists.
1. Who are you?
I’m Susie Rivera and I’m a reference specialist here at FDL. I like reading and movies. I also enjoy gardening but not so much right now because I’m 7 months pregnant.
2. What is your favorite part of working at FDL?
I like helping people find the things they want or need. When they’re grateful it makes me feel good.
3. What are you reading/watching/listening to right now?
I’m listening to/reading the audio book of Landline by Rainbow Rowell for the Out of the Box Book Club. I’m reading both A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons by George RR Martin – the chapters in chronological order as opposed to what order they were published. I’m watching The Handmaid’s Tale and The Last Kingdom Season 2. I’m behind on watching Into The Badlands and Girls.
4. If you didn’t already have your dream job, what would you be doing?
Well, that’s a hard question because I really love my job at FDL. But, if I could just bake pies all day and not have a café or a restaurant – just make food and give it to people- that would be fun.
5. How does your cat feel about the baby that’s on the way?
He thinks all of the baby toys are his.
