Welcome to Spring in Chicago (finally!). It’s been a very long, cold winter here in the Windy City and I can say with certainty that I am ready to enjoy some sunshine and productivity that does not include holing up in my apartment and applying to things. I’m excited to get out on the Read/Write […]
I have taken a break from blogging, school work, and the tedious “adult” tasks of life for a minute. Surely, we all need to breathe now and then. My adventures have led me many places this month and while I try to keep my blog about my endeavors in librarianship I can’t help but feel […]
In the Library with a Lead Pipe recently posted a great piece on the benefits of offering up librarian skillz to communities and organizations who need it. Please check it out, it is truly inspiring. The librarian I work with at the Q Center and I talk a little about our experience, too!
Ok, so there are moments in grad school when all you want to do is throw your computer out the window and go dance it out with my arms flailing above my head. At least, that happens to me. Lately I’ve been finding some really good calm among the chaos in my life through a […]
This talk really gets at the core of introversion and I love that she tells us to go into the woods. I might do that, soon. I’d LOVE to go into the woods and build a cabin treehouse where I could spend my days being as creative as I want. Lately, it’s been being an […]

Above photo is from the NYPL image collection; I just love it and how it applies so well to my own August. Recreation. A hound dog. Well school ended for me last week as I submitted my last assignments and posts to discussion boards, but Summer has been in full-swing for a while now. August […]
I have to start this post by saying that IF walking in 5 inch stiletto heels on jenky cobblestone streets were an olympic sport, the women of Kiev would have that shit locked down. That was just ONE observation I made while in Kiev and Lviv. The rest are more pertinent to libraries, I assure […]
In approximately 36 hours I leave for Kiev, Ukraine! I’m very excited and for the first time ever I feel like I’ve started my packing in advance (due to excitement, not because I’m on top of things). Usually I wait until the very last minute. Once I arrive in Kiev we are basically going straight […]
Recently, I was informed of an internship at the Portland Art Museum within the curatorial department. After reading a great deal of articles and books on museum librarianship I am inspired to apply for this position.
