Childhood ambition: concert pianist or car mechanic (working with my hands)
First job: doctor’s office cleaning lady
Proudest moment: When Jefferson Market teens hosted the first ever video game program at Astor Hall in the 42nd Street library and Carlos was quoted by the NYTimes.
Biggest challenge: Having to convince other librarians of the importance of services and materials for teens
Inspiration: the teens, of course!
Currently reading: The Clash of Kings, book 2 in The Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin
Most surprising thing about being a librarian: How library work reaches so much further than the library
I love being a librarian because: I help people and I make a difference in people’s lives
