And hi to the hyperlinked library!:) My name is Lydia Orendain and this is my second to last semester at SJSU. I have worked as a Library Aide at Foster City Library and as a Library Assistant at South San Francisco Library. I have seen the need for connection, community, and resources at both libraries and my love for expanding access to these things is what led me to enroll in this course. I love how the library serves as a fun and educational place for people to explore their relationships with each other, uncover their place in the world, and quench their curiosity:\u201d) I\u2019m especially excited to see how libraries have evolved, how they are evolving now, and how we can be a part of its becoming!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My interest in the LIS world falls in public libraries and film archives. I adore the community-building that public libraries lend itself to and I love the rich, and vastly uncovered, history of film. Studying cinema in undergrad has definitely led to that passion, and my time freelancing in the entertainment industry led me to become passionate about third spaces (specifically the home-base the public library provides for numerous people groups \u2013 families, after-school-teens, remote freelancers, etc\u2026).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Outside of work and school, I\u2019m a big fan of pop culture, movies, and TV shows (my undergrad was in cinema, and I worked in entertainment for a while!!:)) I also love cozy video games \u2013 Stardew Valley is my absolute favorite, and I\u2019m prolonging my Tears of the Kingdom run-through so I don\u2019t need to say goodbye! I also love plants, gardening, and crafting:) Hope we all have a fun semester together!<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/hitothehyperlink\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/630\/2026\/08\/IMG_1110_Original-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/hitothehyperlink\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/630\/2026\/08\/IMG_1110_Original-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/hitothehyperlink\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/630\/2026\/08\/IMG_1110_Original-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/hitothehyperlink\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/630\/2026\/08\/IMG_1110_Original-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/hitothehyperlink\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/630\/2026\/08\/IMG_1110_Original-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/hitothehyperlink\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/630\/2026\/08\/IMG_1110_Original-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Me with a storytime book for Saturday Storytime at South San Francisco Library.
