About meLibrary assistant at a community college and full time grad student. Also currently laid off copy writer but I won't be returning to that porfession, as it is soul crushingly boring. Once I'm finished with my MFA from University of Southern Maine's Stonecoast Creative Writing program, I'll be heading to a yet-to-be-determined MLIS programs. Lobbying for your alma mater (or fervent warning against) are welcome.
Before the copy writing/ creative writing/ library-ing adventure began, I was an English teacher at Steven King's old high school in down & out, but still quite lovable, Lisbon, Maine.

About my libraryI gave everything a kind of "pared down" DDC number in the tags for easy glancing.

Other tags and their meanings:

***"YA" for anything for 4th-12th grade (basically chapter books)
***Pic for children's books or picture books
***I have also added tags regarding my "relationship" with the book:
-"Own" means I own it (obv).
-"Read" means I have read it but don't own it.
-"Borrowed" means I have borrowed it from someone/-where, but have not finished or started reading it
-"To read" means a book I heard about or saw that I want to read in the future
-"Maine" for anyone who has ties to Maine, since I do, too
-Many poetry books have been tagged with a reference to where I saw the poet read or how I know the poet

As a grad student, I am also using LibraryThing to help me organize my bibliography:

~SC bib is for every book I have used
~Res # - a book from a residency seminar
~Sem # - a book from a packet
~Sem # Influence - read during the semester but not officially noted in an annotation
~Faculty or graduating student name - their seminar
~[Title] Seminar - name of seminar that I read the book for
~"Title" - poem or section I read from book

That's about all for now.
