Well Rounded Librarian

Here’s my story in a nutshell - I’ve been a librarian for over 20 years now. (This followed a short, painful few years as a historical museum curator.) I started my library career in children’s work and then switched over to being the reigning ”techie” since I was the only one who actually owned a computer on staff.  This was back in, gasp, 1986!  Fifteen years ago I became the Electronic Resources Librarian as well as Local History and Genealogy Guru.  I’m still a reference librarian at heart, so it’s a great mix – thus the term, “well-rounded” in my blog title.   In my spare time, I train librarians through the Michigan Library Consortium and watch my three sons pass through their twenties and into their own life adventure.  Our oldest sone was married several years ago and works for the State Department in DC.  We now have a beautiful granddaughter, Sarah, who is our delight.  Our youngest son was married this past May and graduated from medical school several weeks later.  He has now moved back to our area and is a resident in pyschiatry at Henry Ford Medical Center.  Earlier this month, our last son married the woman of his dreams and lives just a few miles away.  My husband is semi-retired and we spend lots of time together.  Life has been very good to us!
