About


This site is a work in progress, with sample content.

In 2006, in what they charitably call mid-life (what do you call it when you really have two-thirds behind you?), I decided to pursue librarianship, an eclectic profession that pulls together the threads of many different interests and attracts many different kinds of people. While getting my MLIS, I volunteered in a large metropolitan library, where I now work about half time. The process of pursuing one of those scarce full-time jobs means you need to be articulate about the principles, methods, and philosophy of working as a librarian. What is your library’s mission, what is your personal mission, and do they mesh? You only have one chance, in the essays, and in the interview, to tell your story. A blog and website gives you more time to weave your story. That is why I call this my learning ground.

I hope to gather the threads of my knowledge and experience into a rich, tapestried cloth that reflects the whole of me and let others learn about the profession. I hope others will contribute and make the tapestry richer.

In the future, I want to add some pages that are tributes to the legacy of my parents, visual artists and performing artists.

Thank you to Chuck Worth for use of his artwork.
