I came to know libraries as a kid who lived at the rural, Eastern NC public library during the summer, relishing all the books and the coldest water fountain in town, as a college student who thought Jack Kerouac was a not-great human, but who had to write a paper on him anyway, and as a young adult who jumped into library school after maxing out her time working in Bay Area restaurants. For me, being a librarian combines a personal interest in curiosity and learning, a connection to community, and a commitment to equity. The policies, the practice, and the feeling of library services, the library collection, the library physical building, and the library curriculum should all come together to create a place that provides access to information, catalyzes community and belonging, and fosters discovery. I am here to help people cultivate questions, to encourage chasing rabbits down holes, to dream up projects, to create relationships, and to promote critical thinking about where and who the information we encounter comes from whether we’re thinking as researchers or as human beings.
