About Me
- Angel, librarian and educator
- I was an Instruction Librarian, and now I am an Outreach Librarian. I still teach. I have been a librarian since 2004, and I started blogging in 2005. Prior to this, I have been a high school teacher and a college adjunct instructor. The idea of the gypsy librarian is really quite simple. In academia, the gypsy scholar is the adjunct college professor without any chance of tenure who teaches at two or three different places to make ends meet (it is way for colleges and universities to get faculty to teach the undergraduate courses the senior professors refuse to teach without actually paying decent salaries). While librarians tend to have a bit more security in terms of jobs, it is not by much for one. Also, a gypsy is a wanderer, and I am a wanderer at heart. As Tolkien wrote, "not all who wander are lost." Married, I have a daughter who reminds me innocence and wonder are great things. I also have two cats who keep life interesting.
