About meHello, I am a recent UVA graduate trying to get into the Library Science field. Worked 3 years in the largest of the libraries as a shelver and a circulation clerk. I've moved back home and now working for the local library system part-time. Still looking for full-time, though, and looking to get my MLS within the next few years.

About my libraryI would say my library is fairly diverse, particular favorites include: vampire novels, fantasy/sci fi in general, world cultures and history. I have a good 80-90 books that need to be read as I love to buy books and forget that it does take time to read all of them!
