Portland’s Heathman Hotel recently hired a part-time libarian to help manage its 4000-volume library, The Oregonian reported yesterday. The books in the Heathman collection are signed by authors who’ve stayed at the hotel, Stephen King, Bill Clinton and Annie Dillard among them. The librarian, Sophie Soprani, is a 20-year-old aspiring writer and an English major at PSU. She helps guests select books to take to their rooms (and keeps track of their $125 deposit, which gets donated to a local reading program if the guest fails to return the book). Soprani calls the gig a dream job.
