It began with music. 8 years ago I came as a freshman to Central Michigan University to study percussion. I spent many a summer before that at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. Naturally, I found I found a job the summer after my freshman year in (can you guess?) the camp's music library. When I came back to school in the fall I was able to take a position in the music library at the university, where I worked until I graduated. I loved the environment of working in libraries, and, having simply a B.S. in music, decided I should seek another degree to aid in the sucess of finding employment in a field I can enjoy (and not merely tolerate!)
After I graduated, I worked as a pharmacy technician for 3 years. I quit to take a job as a page at my local public library, where I am 'in charge' of sorting the library recycling. (the various ephemera that gets thrown away can be quite fascinating!) I have been there for one year (as of last week) and still enjoy it - this is a good sign!
I would like to progress in my career beyond sorting the recyling, hopefully doing something involving technical services. Databases and how we interface with them fascinates me - as well as cataloging non-print material such as recorded music.
