Hello Hyperlinked Library peers! My name is Krista, welcome to my blog.<\/p>\n
I \u00a0live in Long Beach, California with my husband, two sons (1 and 6), and our dog. Currently, I am a stay-at-home mom (in an anti-capitalist, raising-radical-critical-thinkers way) and I homeschool (in a dismantling-the-system way) my older son. In my, albeit limited, free time I enjoy crafting, cooking\/baking, camping, reading, live music, and exploring new places with my family.<\/p>\n
My road to discovering library work and the MLIS program has been a long one. After graduating with my BA in Philosophy way back in 2012, I took many years to explore my interests and passions. I dove deep into community work with DIY, anarchist and feminist organizations; learning from my peers and finding joy in the resilience and resistance of community. An avid lover of books and knowledge, I slowly began to find my way back to academia. I first started my back-to-school journey with child development courses and classes that fulfilled my artistic interests. While on the child development tract, I took a course on children’s literacy– this is what first sparked my awareness in library work as a career path for me. After becoming a mother and beginning to homeschool, I finally took the leap of faith and began the MLIS program here at SJSU.<\/p>\n
This is my third semester in the MLIS program. In my first semester of the program, several of my classes introduced the Hyperlinked Library, sparking my interest in this course. I was very excited to see it offered this semester, and got lucky enough to get a spot very last minute. I think that being involved in community growth is a crucial aspect of library work, and I look forward to learning and discussing how technology can help libraries collaborate and grow our community involvement.<\/p>\n
I am excited to explore this course and to learn from my peers through open discussion and reading each other’s blogs. I look forward to learning and growing with everyone this semester!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
