Introduction

Hi Everyone! My name is Annie Johnson and I am starting my fourth, and final semester, in this program. Before entering this program I received a Bachelor’s degree in English with an emphasis in professional writing from Santa Clara University. It has always been my dream to be a librarian and this program is helping me make that dream a reality.

I currently work as a library assistant on a youth services desk at a Bay Area public library. In this position, I complete reference interviews, provide readers’ advisory, and occasionally lead storytimes.  I am very happy to be in this profession and I am grateful for the opportunity to be in this course and learn more about librarianship and the emerging technologies in this field!

When I am not working or completing coursework, I enjoy reading, crocheting, and watching Bay Area sports teams play. I am especially a big fan of the San Francisco 49ers football and San Jose Sharks hockey teams. I also have a cat named Jack who I consider my reading buddy as I stay up to date with children’s literature for work and read historical and literary fiction for fun.
