By A. Faulkner<\/em><\/p>\n

What is your role in the GLBTRT?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a member.<\/p>\n

What does the GLBTRT mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The GLBTRT allows me to stay connected with all things LGBTQ* for the library and patrons.<\/p>\n

Are you involved in ALA in other ways?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a member of YALSA and ALSC.<\/p>\n

What professional work do you perform?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Currently, I work as a Public Services Librarian (juvenile) working with youth ages 0-18, and their parents. It?s the most rewarding experience of my career.<\/p>\n

What would you like to share about your personal life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have 2 fur babies, Punky Brewster and Jawselin, aka Jaws. Both are 50lb beasts that love to snuggle.<\/p>\n

What are you most proud of?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am most proud of the fact that I am fulfilling my dream to help change the world. As a librarian, I can inspire children (and parents) to consider new ideas and philosophies.<\/p>\n

Who inspires you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My late grandmothers inspire me. Both were descendants of immigrants, one Sicilian and the other Hispanic.<\/p>\n

What are your goals? (Professional and\/or personal.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

A personal goal is to run a half-marathon this year. Training is very time consuming. I can?t wait until it?s done!! A professional goal is to be a rockstar librarian every day.<\/p>\n

What do you think (or predict) is the future of libraries?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 21st<\/sup> Century library will be a place for exploration and learning. Kitchens and recording studios are the new wave of libraries.<\/p>\n

In what direction would you like the GLBTRT to move in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would like to see the GLBTRT move to incorporate more bisexual agendas for librarians and patrons.<\/p>\n

What would be the title of your autobiography?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alter Egos<\/p>\n

If you could only choose one song to play every time you entered a room for the rest of your life, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves.<\/p>\n

If you could have a dinner party with 5 culturally or historically significant figures, living or dead, who would you invite?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would love to have dinner with Madonna, Sally Ride, Ellen DeGeneres, LeVar Burton, and Mr. Rodgers.<\/p>\n

What is the meaning of life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The meaning of life is to inspire others to do their best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
