Hi, I'm the Author Here

I'm Lauren

I live in the bottom of the bottom west half of the United States MItten

My professional background is an MA in Information Science, eight years working in university and college libraries, two years working as an art museum librarian, three years contract work in instructional tech for a nonprofit, one year (nearly) with a public university as an Information Technology Specialist

An interesting thing about me is that I co-wrote the information document that helped prompt the City government where I live to pass a climate action resolution for the city. Usefulness of this overall to city wide climate action? Undetermined. But working as a member of - and with - the Environmental Advisory Board? Awesome.
