We welcome a new blogger to our team! Here is a little more about Abby!

Abbys Bio:

My name is Abby Edgecumbe, and I started at SLIS in Fall 2025. I am in the libraries/librarianship concentration, and I’m interested in both public and academic libraries. Currently, I work at the Schlesinger Library, which is a part of the Harvard-Radcliffe Institute, as a Reading Room Assistant. I’m originally from Connecticut, and I got my undergrad in California. I am passionate about the role of LIS in responding to climate change and fostering community resilience. Before coming to SLIS, I earned an MA in Literature from UMASS Amherst, during which I worked at the local public library. Now, I live in Brookline and spend all my money at the Brookline Booksmith. Outside of school and work, I love to read, go on walks, and play mahjong!
