Why Library School?

For me, the decision to go to library school was a relatively recent revelation, representing a huge change in career and lifestyle. This has led many of my friends and relatives to ask me, "You want to be a librarian? Why?"

This is the story behind my decision.

Donate books to a NOLA class!

Recently, The Desk Set held a Mardi Gras-themed book drive and fundraiser to benefit the A.P. Tureaud school in the 7th ward of New Orleans.

While the event was successful for a stormy Tuesday night, the school still needs plenty of books - including a personal favorite of mine, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery.

On my way

I am absolutely giddy!  I received my first MLIS acceptance today – to the #3 program in the U.S. at Syracuse University.   I also have applications into University of Pittsburgh and Rutgers, and I am considering Queens College and the Palmer School at C.W. Post, but SU is definitely my first choice.  Their speedy decision is flattering and terrifying.  Now it’s really happening, and it’s up to me to make it work!
