My Love for Libraries of All Kinds
Libraries have always been apart of my life, for as a child, I spent many summers reading away in the stacks of libraries. Then I found a wonderful opportunity to have an internship with Western Carolina University's Hunter Library in their Special Collections. It was a summer of research and discovery of all the tools available in an academic library. Ever since that summer, I have made it my goal to work in libraries and to help people in whatever way I can. In 2012, I got my first job after graduation at the Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library and I fell in love with public libraries all over again. Libraries offer unique services beyond being vessels in which to organize information and provide leisurely reading and watching. It is a pillar within a community and librarians act as gatekeepers to new worlds for people.
Below is a sample of my resume, specifically connected to my jobs within libraries. I have had a myriad of other jobs that assist me with my job as a librarian but the focus is on the experiences I have had in libraries and working for libraries.
