childhood ambition: to work for Jim Henson
first job: Kay-Bee Toy and Hobby
proudest moment: when my son asked me what a tie is (as in those things you wear on your neck)
biggest challenge: resisting tangents
inspiration: They Might Be Giants
currently reading: Sixty Days and Counting, Kim Stanley Robinson
most surprising thing about being a library leader: how much you can learn about an audience from which jokes they laugh at
I love working in libraries because: libraries are awesome.
