    childhood ambition: To be an archeologist in a far away land.

    first job: Ice cream scooper

    proudest moment: Working in a school for homeless kids in Calcutta and getting them to pass math.

    biggest challenge: Living in India for two years. Can that be one challenge?

    inspiration: stories of daring and good people

    currently reading: The Two Princesses of Bamarre and The Ten Most Beautiful Experiments

    most surprising thing about being a library leader: How some people who seem reluctant to change can become open to new ideas when they they see someone else excited and happy to take it on.

    I love working in libraries because: I get to meet a whole cross-section of the community, and I get to guide people towards free things that make them happy.
