Introducing Lucy!

We added another blogger to the team! Welcome to Lucy.

Lucy’s Bio:

My name’s Lucy (they/she). I just started graduate school at Simmons this fall, and so I am one semester into my program, the Master of Library and Information Science: Archives Management Concentration. I’m taking three courses right now, and hope to continue at that pace throughout my time here so I can finish my degree as fast as possible.

I love to be fast: as soon as I was legally allowed to work I started a shelving job at the Portland Public Library and it was always a point of pride for me that I was such a speedy shelver. Outside of the public library, I’ve also had professional experience in academic libraries (liberal arts-style), academic libraries (big research university-style), historical societies and sites, government archives, and even some volunteer hours in art museums.

In my free time I love to read (theory, contemporary fiction, etc.), see older and/or foreign films, bike around listening to music and play soccer very badly. In my happiest moments, I’m probably spacing out in the sunshine. 🙂
