interview responses--take notes

My interview yesterday went well, ending rather abruptly. It was for a Children's part-time Librarian position. I had planned a story time, complete with the book I was going to read, as well as activities that I was going to "use" with the book, etc. After all of the interviewers questions were answered, etc., she thanked me for my time. "Wouldn't you like me to read the book," (which is what some librarians will have you do in the interview so they get a sense of your reading with audience, etc.--also what she told me to plan on doing for my interview). "No, I'm sure you can read." Her response actually caught me off guard. I wasn't sure if I should take her reponse as a vote of confidence, or as a response that she wanted me out of there as soon as possible... Although, she did email me later and ask for my references, so maybe it was a vote of confidence...though I won't get my hopes up. As I continue to send out more resumes...
