About meI am the director for a small Maine library. When I'm not caught up in my work, I focus my energy on my family, sports, needlework, and reading for fun. I'm married and we have a large extended family. My husband is manufacturer and small-business owner. He reads, works around the house, and plays the guitar in his spare time. Pets are a must - especially cats. We have a cat and an English Setter (cat:me - dog:husband). I'm a huge sports fan - primarily hockey, Red Sox, Patriots, Bruins, Canadiens, Lewiston Maineiacs and anything Notre Dame. Love spending time at the cottage in Harpswell - the definition of contentment and perfect sunsets.

All of the books with asterisks are ones that I read for two MLIS (U. of So. Carolina, Maine cohort, 2008) classes.

The USC MLIS program was such an adventure for me. Not only did the program give me a new career but it brought me great knowledge, new friends, and a lot of wonderful reading that I never would have done if not required in my classes.

About my libraryI have a ton (literally!!)of books - read and unread. Since starting school the "unread" pile became bigger than the "read" pile, but I just kept buying anyway. I am an avid needleworker (at least I was before starting school and my job), so I have a great collection of needlework books, magazines, pamphlets, charts, and (of course) unfinished projects. I have about 1000 books in my needlework library. I guess it's time to reinforce the floor...Wait, maybe not! I'm now a proud Kindle owner so I'm not adding to the visible piles, just the credit card balance! Well, that's really not true........
