Then (left, me at 17) … and now!
I’m an Adult Services Programs Associate at my public library and am currently working on my Master’s in Library and Information Science (MLIS) in the online program at San Jose State University. I live in northern Illinois, run a Little Free Library, have been married for 31 years, have 5 kids and 4 grandkids, and oh yeah, I love to read! I share recommended books on my blog, Book30.
For a glimpse into my general vibe, check out the list of prompts I entered to get this scarily accurate AI-generated Funko Pop of myself:

- plus size
- brown and gray bob; shaved on one side
- black floral dress
- black cardigan
- black shoes
- book
- pencil
That’s me!
