Dr. Carla Hayden is the first African American and the first woman to serve as the librarian of the Library of Congress. She was sworn in on September 14, 2016, to make her the 14th librarian to serve our nation’s library. She is a remarkable role model.
Library Journal is a great source of information that includes technology in libraries to current trends. I specifically am interested in Public Libraries and future trends.

🎧🙋🏽♀️📚Mary Burkey describes herself as an audiophile. Her love for audiobooks has led her to serve on all four of ALA’s audiobook committees. She currently is an independent library consultant who is also a columnist for booklist. She has written the “Voices in My Head” column for Booklist, and Audiobooks for Youth: A Practical Guide to Sound Literature (ALA, 2013). Her knowledge of audiobooks impresses me and I hope to learn more about audiobooks from her.
This is a published journal about many aspects of technology related to the library. It is a great source of current information on technology and trends in the library.

The Imagination Library is Dolly Parton’s book program that sends books to children no matter of family income and operates in 5 different countries! Her nonprofit has donated more than 184 million books to children. I love everything about this and hope to be a part of something like this one day.

Excellent article that I feel strongly about. Everyone is welcomed in the library and each person should be able to access the information they seek.
