Hello everyone!
It is a pleasure to e-meet you all. My name is Rahab Lawshea, but you can call me Rae. I was born and raised in Texas and currently live in San Antonio, TX. I am in my third semester of the MLIS program here at SJSU and have already learned so much. I work in a public library here in San Antonio as a library aide, but before that, I worked in a normal “9-5” corporate job. During that time, I realized I needed to make a change to something I was more passionate about. After volunteering at the library, I knew that this was the switch I needed to make, and I haven’t looked back since.
As a library aide, I get to see various programs from start to finish and help librarians implement them. I enjoy serving my community and look forward to the insights and skills this class will give me in providing the information my community needs. I am currently leaning more toward children’s librarianship, but I am open to learning more about the opportunities this degree will offer. In my free time, I love to travel, hike, do yoga, garden, decorate my house, and read a good book.
Here is a picture of me in Bali!
If you read until the end, thank you for reading my post! I can’t wait to learn more about you all during this semester.
Talk soon,
Rae
Hi Rae, so nice to e-meet you!
I grew up in the Dallas area of Texas, and I love San Antonio! I have some family there and enjoy visiting from time to time. I remember one bakery with colossal cinnamon rolls very fondly. San Antonio and Austin are the best of Texas! I’m so glad that you’re enjoying your library job and have found fulfilling work. Your blog name is super clever!
