Hello, everyone! It’s time to go on this Summer Hyperlinked Library course adventure together!
My name is Hope and I live on the Central Coast of California near the area of San Luis Obispo. I have had a passion for library work for probably as long as I have been a student in school (the library has always been one of the more important places in my heart while going through schooling) but in recent years I decided to act on this passion and pursue my MLIS. I attended Cal Poly SLO and earned my Bachelors of Science in Liberal Studies, so I have background experience in the area of K-12 education. I have been a substitute library technician in the school district here for almost a year now.
I love being in nature, going for walks, birding, and being with animals. You could say I am a bit of a naturalist. That being said, I also love being inside – a new book, show, movie, etc, and I am totally content. Add a cup of coffee or tea and that would make up my perfect paradise!
I am excited to start this course because I find the concept of libraries being a central part of our world, both physically and technologically, to be very important. I want to learn more about how the hyperlinked library is progressing as our society is becoming more interconnected everyday.
@hpete24 Thanks for sharing the path that lead you to this class. I feel the same way about libraries…all these years later I still recall telling my mom I was “playing library.”
