Adventures in the Linkbrary

Jump to Comments

Hi everyone! My name is Mollie and I am located on the East Coast in tiny Delaware! I have been working in public libraries for 11 years now and am currently working as a Reference Assistant in Adult Services. I started my library adventures working as a Page during my undergrad years while I was earning my B.A. in Anthropology, and was able to apply for a reference position in another location upon completing that degree. After quite a few years of doing what are essentially the same tasks as the librarians I work beside, I finally decided to go back to school for my MLIS, and started this process in the Spring of 2024. I am hoping that earning my MLIS, combined with my experience, will open the doors to some new opportunities. This is my fifth semester here at SJSU, and my final semester before taking the E-port course this Fall. I chose to take this class because of the wonderful reviews it has received, and because I think the content is highly interesting and relevant to the world we live and work in. I believe keeping up with emerging technologies, and being aware of their pros and cons, is a key part of being a great information professional!

For fun, I enjoy playing cozy video games, reading (mostly fantasy and sci-fi, but I really am open to anything!), finding new TV shows to binge, traveling with my partner, and going for walks with my dog Lucy. I also love to try out new creative hobbies and discover new music of all genres – if you have any suggestions, please feel free to share!! My current hyper-fixations are crochet, K-pop, and baking anything with lemons (the first very easy and fantastic recipe I tried, if you are interested: Sally’s Baking Addiction lemon bars, which I shared at a book club). Only time will tell what will be next!
