Hi everyone– my name is Zoe. This semester will be the halfway point in the program for me. I live down in Santa Cruz, CA. I’ve been working at the local book store, Bookshop Santa Cruz, for the last five years, which is where I’ve solidified my love of working with books and helping people find the literature they’re looking for. Hoping to enter the public library system upon completion of my degree.
Outside of the program, I tend to spend my time reading or kickboxing and occasionally getting involved with community theatre and other art projects. I enjoy live music, walks to the beach with my dog, and eating and making excellent food.
Here’s the dog that will be curled up next to me during all the readings and assignments:
Looking forward to the semester with you all 🙂
@zwillats Oh! What a sweet face your canine companion has. It is very cool that you are working at the bookshop while doing the degree. You are absolutely right the experience you gained there will be so valuable as an information professional. I think in my bio or somewhere I mentioned I started in a music and video store before I got into libraries.
Welcome to #hyperlib!
