New Librarian's Oath

As a newly graduated librarian, my goal is to make a long-lasting career of serving libraries and the countless individuals that rely on their resources, support, and unique fusion of ideas.  Among those countless individuals are the children, teens, and peers who I have had the privilege of teaching and learning from over several years of library work and study. 

I carry with me all that I have learned from them and use it everyday to help others find not only what they need but what inspires them. That is the true source of my passion for libraries: not the buildings themselves, but the books, digital content, technology, and people that make such a vast co-mingling of information and ideas possible.  

In my career as a librarian, I hope to bring creativity to the profession in order to discover, organize, and utilize known information, new ideas, and ever-evolving technologies that will not only improve the lives of library patrons but the ways in which we as a society view information and communicate to each other about it.
