Introduction

Hello everyone!

I’m Celinna and I am from Southern California. I spent all of last week on a trip to El Salvador and Guatemala and it was absolutely wonderful! I did a lot of sight-seeing; here is a photo from my trip of the view from a cafe in Alegría, El Salvador.

I also visited the National Library of El Salvador and it was magnificent!

Currently, I am employed part time as a library associate for a public library that is a part of LA County Public Library system. I have over 15 years of combined library experience in public libraries and a public elementary school library. I am just about done with the program and will be graduating in the Spring of ’25. I am planning on becoming a Children’s services librarian, as I have ample experience working with children in a library setting from my years as a media assistant at a public elementary school; and most importantly, I enjoy working with children and serving children and families with young children.  I’m looking forward to this course, as I think this is an extremely valuable to be adaptable an tech savvy as those are tools one should have in their toolkit for outreach and overall best practice.

Here is a word cloud about myself that I created for an introduction discussion in another class.
