I’m the Member Services Manager for NOBLE, the North of Boston Library Exchange, a consortium of twenty-eight Massachusetts public and academic libraries.
Before joining NOBLE twenty years ago, I worked for the public libraries of Salem, Revere, Wakefield and Hamilton, Massachusetts, in a variety of positions including Children’s Librarian, Young Adults’ Librarian, and Technical Services Librarian. I’m the author of two books on librarianship, including Rethinking Reference: A Reference Librarian’s Practical Guide to Surviving Constant Change.
In addition to my library work, I served as a volunteer Playspace Activity Leader with Horizons for Homeless Children for five years, and I taught English for Future School in Dalian, China, in the summers of 2002, 2004 and 2006.
