Welcome to My Professional Blog- Post #1

Hello!

My name is Kelsy and this is my last (*fingers crossed*) semester in the MLIS program at UWM. After graduation, I hope to continue in the district I work in as a Library Media Specialist. I currently work as a library assistant for an IB high school in Green Bay and genuinely love my job. Most of my blog post will center on how libraries play a role in reading content. I don’t have any classroom experience but do work closely with all departments on making sure our readers have the materials and skills they need to succeed.

Some of my favorite resources are below. These have helped me a lot with reader’s advisory:

My home page will always feature the titles I’m reading/read, but I’m always looking for suggestions (I tend to dabble in all genres). When I’m not working or doing school work, I can be found hanging out with my dog Charlie or planning my next trip. The picture above is from my 2019 trip to Ireland.

  3. Hi Kelsey! I love this blog – the splash page, the first page you encounter, is great and gives a sense of who you are and what you’re all about. I was in Dublin two years ago and went to the Trinity College Library as well – what a lovely space! It truly made me just want to sit down and start looking through the books on the shelves.

    I noticed that on your splash page, you’re reading or have recently read Ghost Boys. Would love to know your thoughts on it. I read it last year and it was fascinating to me.
