In the library, I am part of an amazing team that brings terrific programming to children, aged 0-12, in Southington. I am in charge of planning, publicizing, and implementing my programs which range from rock and roll storytimes, to teaching children how to sew in our MakerSpace, to dressing up as a superhero for the Library Comic Con, or a knight for the Renaissance Faire. In addition, I also help manage the department's social media sites and campaigns. Yes, I am the genius behind the Dinovember posts. I take part in collection development and departmental organization strategies.

Performed general stack upkeep and reorganization. Assisted patrons. Given special projects related to the Children’s Department, such as co-organizer of the annual spring play for children ages 9-11.

Carried out projects related to the identifying and organizing of prints and drawings dating back to the 1600’s. Cataloged various prints and drawings and linked them to corresponding digital images online. Created database records for all items identified for the Lewis Walpole website and greater Yale database. Created physical records linking each print or drawing to all extra information surrounding each item; such as provenance and other academic research information, multiple copies of a work, where each work is located, etc.
