Libraries Rock! Walking in the Dairy Days Parade 2018.
Who I Am
Hi, I'm Emma.
Public librarian. I'm passionate about equitable access to information and technology.
At the reference desk: I'm patient, approachable, and enthusiastic about even the most basic inquiries.
In the work room: I'm collaborative, analytical, and a little silly. I keep my coworkers upbeat with sarcasm and cups of tea.
Here's some of what I've worked on recently:
Improving UX and staff workflow for room reservation software (Evanced)
Strategic Planning with WiLS
Creating a world languages collection
Book & Writers' Festival 2018
Writing and applying for a CFSW grant to fund a custom book bike
Resume
I have 10+ years experience working in a variety of libraries and positions. My breadth of library know-how makes me an empathetic coworker who is able to see the big picture.
