I love theater and go when I can. I am also a grateful member of Al-Anon. Students are very important to me. I am a published author having co-wrote Humor and Information Literacy<\/em> with Josh Vossler. I am working on my next book with Professor Mark Aaron Polger of the College of Staten Island. I am very active in my world in spite of being a cancer survivor and an epileptic.<\/p>\n What are you most proud of?<\/strong><\/p>\n Being a Gay, Jewish, Disabled Librarian. And the fact that I was on the original Candid Camera<\/em> as a kid (and I found the camera!)<\/p>\n Who inspires you?<\/strong><\/p>\n Hillel and Maimonides. I still look at large parts of the world through their eyes.<\/p>\n What is your favorite holiday and how do you celebrate?<\/strong><\/p>\n Rosh Ha-Shannah, and I spend it in Shul.<\/p>\n What do you have to say about the future of libraries?<\/strong><\/p>\n We will be around for a long time. We were invented over 5,000 years ago and it will take technology a while to catch up with us.<\/p>\n Where would you like to see the GLBTRT go in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n Mars!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Tess Goldwasser What is your role in the GLBTRT?
