Lovely in the most cliched sense of the word. Most of the kiddies who come in have half-Spanish/half-French or half-English parents, so it's adorable to see them switch back and forth. They're also adorable in general and I never thought I'd like working with kids so much. Hopefully it won't be hard to maintain my "I don't want kids" stance. We have a really cool comic book section (we hold Persepolis in Spanish!!) and I kind of spent a little too much time reading the graphic novel interpretation of Proust's "À la recherche du temps perdu" translated into Spanish. Another Chilean poet you might like: Vicente Huidobro. Reading his stuff for my poetry class and its so vanguardista it hurts.
