Welcome to Kerry's MLIS Blog. My name is Kerry and I am a student at Wayne State University in the Masters of Library and Information Sciences program. I currently work for two small libraries in Saranac and Clarksville, Michigan as a library assistant. My main duties include working the circulation desk, shelving books, helping patrons find books and answering questions. I also handle most of our tech help appointments, write a monthly newspaper article full of library events and whatever else comes my way which can be anything from cleaning to shelf reading.
I realized once I started working at the libraries that this field was where I was destined to be. I worked for many years at a not for profit organization in Ionia, Michigan where I was able to wear many hats. Working for a small library is very similar but I also get to be around all kinds of reading material, which is something I love. I decided to pursue my passion and here I am.
This blog will be my tool as I work through the MLIS program where I can express my thoughts and opinions on what I am learning, reading, and experiencing. I hope that you enjoy the insights and the process.
