Sobre Minha Biblioteca
Most of my print books (those within the "Your Library" collection) were found at resale shops, library sales, and used bookstores, though I preorder or pick up new releases occasionally. I've also started acquiring or borrowing significantly more eBooks and audiobooks; those are added only as I read them and are placed in separate collections, along with borrowed print books.

As far as physical storage, my books are finally all unboxed after a recent move. Some tags are used for location purposes and will be rearranged as time and interest permit. Prior to the move, I carried out a large-scale weeding/deaccession project, and books that I had read but did not keep or have replaced with eBooks are in the "Withdrawn" collection.

As for the favorite authors, I initially added just about everyone who had written several books I enjoyed. The list has been edited and expanded somewhat over the past 10+ years but remains reasonably representative.
About Me

I'm an academic librarian in northern Illinois, currently in a resources management role. Thus far, I've worked in a variety of public and academic libraries, as well as teaching part-time for several years. Reading in all forms is my favorite hobby, though I also enjoy cooking/baking and, more actively, hiking and nature walks (often while listening to audiobooks or podcasts).

I share my home with two cats--Tara and Ralph--accentuating the stereotype of the bespectacled, cat-loving, spinster librarian. (My profile pictures also feature a few departed feline companions, who are much missed.) In summer 2022, we adopted Sam, a very mixed breed dog, despite the cats' misgivings.
