Hello, @Michael and fellow classmates!
I’m happy to be here. I chose this course because of the illustrious reputation which has preceded it and because I am very interested in how the paradigm of public libraries can shift in ways which connect us to each other.
I’m excited to expand my mind with new ideas about what libraries and librarians are capable of and also to enhance the foundation of my understanding in the field.
The public library pathway is my interest in LIS, although I am a brand new, fledgling baby to the library and information science world.
I look forward to connecting with you all and to an enriching semester!
Below is a picture of my husband, two children and I after a youth chorus concert for my daughter (and a karate event, hence my son’s donning of his gi). (P.S., my profile picture is a drawing my daughter did of me during the pandemic lockdown. I think it is pretty apt.)
