I began my bookseller career, at Waldenbooks. Located in the Ashtabula Mall, in August of 1999. I worked tgere (part time) for 5 consecutive years. I left my position at Waldenbooks in 2004. Working 40+ hours in the school district, plus 20+ hours weekly at Waldenbooks, was too difficult to maintain. Three years later, I resumedmy employment at Wsldenbooks, for 3 more years. Then, all Wakdenbook Stores closed. I enjoyed working in retail, helping customers, and working cooperatively with store mansgement & fellow booksellers.
