This week’s interview is with Tanya London, lead technician in the Stacks Services section of the Law Library’s Collection Services Division. Tanya recently held an extended temporary position as a program specialist in the Law Library’s Office of Legislative and External Relations.
Describe your background.
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in History/Political Science from Virginia Union University. I initially had aspirations of becoming an attorney. Then during my last year at school, I took a research and writing class which led me to change my career goal. I wanted to become a librarian. Before becoming a lead library technician at the Law Library of Congress, I was a library/serial assistant at the law library of a law firm.
I attend the Ebenezer AME Church and am a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., and the Library of Congress Blacks in Government
