What kind of a librarian are you?

Did Library Director Robert Karatsu quit his job and become a chef?

For several hours last week, yes. Karatsu, who heads the two libraries in town, was spotted making scrambled eggs for a Friends of the Library pot luck. It turns out, the chef's coat wasn't just for show. Karatsu, 55, said when he retires, he plans on enrolling in culinary school. Who knows, maybe he'll still come to the library's annual pot luck and turn those scrambled eggs into a souffle.

But for now, Karatsu just wants to play the guitar. With next week being furlough week for city employees, Karatsu, who plays the guitar in addition to making eggs and managing two libraries, wants to start a City Hall band. So far, he's enlisted Fabian Villenas, principal analyst at the city manager's office and a percussionist. But two guys aren't enough for a band. If you work for the city and aspire to be a star at the next City Hall employee quarterly meeting, shoot Karatsu an e-mail. Experience singing in the shower will be considered.
