She is a full-time librarian and innovation aide at the high school. Q: What do you do/teach at Alder?A: I’m the library innovation aide, which means that I help students get loaner Chromebooks, internet issues, and also help with library things.Q: How familiar are you to being a librarian?A: This is my first year in this specific kind of role. I’ve worked in a library before and I used to teach, so it’s a little bit new, but also kind of stuff I’ve done before.Q: Where did you go to school, and what motivated you to become a librarian?A: I went to Indiana Wesleyan University, and actually my degree is in Spanish education and TESOL education. But I’ve always really loved libraries and books and helping people find something.Q: How did you end up at Alder?A: Mrs. Hipp over at Monroe, she and I know each other and she let me know about this job opening and I’ve always heard such great things about Jonathan Alder from her, and my cousin actually lives in Plain City as well, so it was a community I was really excited to get to be a part of.Q: What does a day in your life look like?A: It depends. It’s a little bit just on what people need. So, a lot of times helping kids get loaner Chromebooks or if they need help signing into the Wi-Fi if their personal laptop isn’t working, I rebind and fix books for teachers, and help with cataloging books as they do the move to the junior high. I make sure the books are in the right spot.Q: How has your first year at Alder been so far?A: It’s been really good, I’m enjoying it a lot.Q: What type of books do you like? Do you have a favorite?A: Ooh favorite, probably “1984.” It’s not spooky, like horror, but spooky, like “Big Brother’s Watching” is very much up my alley. And most books that I like are a little bit weird.Q: Other than reading, what’s some of your hobbies?A: I collect all of my family’s photos and I have all of them stored. And also, I love going camping, spending time outside. And right now I’m into puzzles, but that probably won’t last very long. Q: What is one piece of advice you received that you would like to pass on?A: If you want to really be able to authentically connect with people, then you need to authentically be yourself. Someone told me that when I was in high school and I was like, oh, you don’t need to pretend to be something you’re not because then even if you do connect with someone, it’s not going to be a real connection anyway. So that was something that just changed my perspective a lot.Q: What is something you want everyone to know about you as a librarian and the library in general this year?A: They can come to the library because I know it hasn’t always been open for the whole school day in the past. And also if I’m here and I’m working on something, please interrupt me. I mean, the students are the most important work I do. So if I’m, you know, getting books from the shelves or working on something here, sometimes I notice students are being very polite and respectful, but a little hesitant to come up. And I would love them to come up and interrupt me if they need something or have questions. </div></body>
