Hi, everyone!
My name is Michelle, and this is my third year in the MLIS program! I’ve lived in SoCal my entire life, attended UCLA for undergrad, and have an English B.A. I’ve loved visiting my local library since I was young, but it was only during college that I decided to pursue librarianship, as it matched my values of community, accessibility, and lifelong learning. I’m so excited to learn the intersection of emerging technology and connecting with library users. And to meet and learn with all of you, of course!
Outside my office job and school work, I enjoy discovering new graphic novels, watching Dimension 20, and taking care of my pixelated farm in Stardew Valley. WordPress is not my first blogging experience (shout out to all my fellow Tumblr veterans), but I’m eager to personalize this blog. Speaking of, my site URL is trying to evoke the idea of a train station! Partly because I commute via public transit every day, and partly because I like that both stations and libraries are spaces meant to connect different places and people to each other.
@mperalejo thanks for sharing what led you to librarian ship. I also found my way to the profession via the values that we uphold. I appreciate your train motif! I enjoy a good YouTube train video on occasion. I hope to one day take the sleeper train from London up to Scotland. It is definitely on my list.
Welcome to the hyperlinked library!
