I'm delighted to be back at the Library in a new incarnation as a librarian-educator. I'm excited to be able to bring all that professional experience to bear in my current charge, which is to engage audiences in creating and sharing knowledge, inspire a love of reading and research, and inform the public about the treasures here.
We thought it would be a unique way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month--as well as the work of our former interns--by highlighting some of their blog posts related to Hispanic heritage.
I am a senior exhibition director in the Library's Interpretive Programs Office, which is the office charged with developing and producing exhibitions onsite and online that show the public what the nation's library holds and preserves.
I also understand that a lecture, textbook, or slideshow will not engage students in the same way as a primary document. I am thrilled to begin as Teacher in Residence at the Library of Congress for 2017-2018.
