About Me
I've been at OCLC for nearly nine years, coming here after stints as a state librarian, director of ALA's Public Library Association, members services director for Ohio Library Association, and director of Fairfield County District Library. I've mentored at several library leadership conferences, written hundreds of short book reviews for Library Journal and Booklist, and enjoy speaking at conferences on all sorts of topics.
