About me

Gender Female
Industry Education
Occupation Librarian
Location Washington, District of Columbia, United States
Introduction I've recently acquired a degree in library studies, and am currently a children's librarian with DCPL. I also like archives and museum studies, and the only reason I'm not an academic librarian is that I was offered a children's services job first (plus the puppets are better). I have two cats (and would like more), love urban living, am a Canadian by upbringing and inclination (no offense to the US intended), love old-fashioned things but also modern technology, and I read constantly, and knit nearly as much, albeit rather slowly.
Interests Reading, knitting, clothes, sewing, music (singing and listening to, plus a little guitar), animals, hats, history, folklore, theatre, puppets.
Favorite Movies Labyrinth, The Good Thief, Amelie, 24 Hour Party People, The Last Waltz, Return of the Jedi, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Russian Ark, Follow That Bird.
Favorite Music The Who, The Divine Comedy, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Ocean Colour Scene (although not recently), The Virgin Prunes, Marianne Faithfull, Raffi, U2, Blur, Oasis (although not recently), Benjamin Britten
Favorite Books Never ask a serious reader this question.
