2. I’m Emma
22
From Long Island
I got interested in libraries in general as a kid, because of my
grandma, who was a public librarian.
I worked as a page in my town’s library for a small time at the
end of high school.
I had two internships that dealt with archival work when I was
in college.
I knew I wanted to be a librarian when I visited the Trinity
College Library in Ireland.
