I’ve been working in libraries for about 8 or so years now. In all that time it took roughly too long to take the plunge into graduate school. That math adds up to my finishing this program up in August.

I could probably count on one hand the number of times I entered the library as an undergrad. That sad story is less about me than it is about the library. I want to see that change. I want to see libraries change into dynamic, active, welcoming, social, fun places. I think that’s the job of anybody working in a library.

I’m stoked about Library 2.0 because I dig collaboration. I believe in the power of a collective mind and a team effort. Of course you need the right fit of people, but when minds come together the end result is nearly always more awesome then if just one person had done it. Personally, I’ve experienced this as a writer, a musician, and a librarian. No matter how good I am, I‘ll never be as good as we are, or could be.
