Hi everyone! My name is Abbie, and I’m from Alabama. This summer session is my second semester in the program at SJSU.<\/p>\n

For fun, I love to go thrifting, play board games, read, go to the gym, watch movies and go to the movie theater (if you can’t tell from my title haha). I really resonate with Weird Barbie, I love to have funky hair (currently have red with hot pink money pieces), funky clothes, and I have felt like an outcast many times because I am very introverted… never been able to do the splits though. I would love to hear about everyone else’s favorite movies or movie quotes if you have any!<\/p>\n

Anyway, I think that is why I have been drawn to library work–I have always felt welcome in the library despite feeling like an outcast in other situations because the library is for everyone.<\/p>\n

I initially started the program here because I was interested in building a career in cataloguing or archival work, something involving behind-the-scenes library work. However, I’ve been working as a circulation desk library assistant at my local library for a year now, and I love interacting with the patrons everyday so I’m considering a pivot to keeping a more public facing position after graduating.<\/p>\n

Looking forward to meeting everyone through our blog posts!<\/p>\n
