May I correct mine? I was never a school librarian. I was a children's librarian with the Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) system, then for many years in the research department of a global consulting firm (business librarian), then managed the internal library at DC Comics for a few years.Part of the inspiration for my series set in Brooklyn neighborhoods came from the very varied places I worked for BPL.Trisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08058396345946250313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-57615855670610083012017-10-04T23:39:34.961-04:002017-10-04T23:39:34.961-04:00Thanks for the suggestions, all.

Jeff, Borges was the head of the Argentinian library, but he did not have a library degree - as was also true of every Librarian of Congress until the current one.

My other two credits are short stories in the Chesapeake Crimes series - This Job is Murder and Homicidal Holidays. I don't mean to be too mysterious, it's just that St. Martin's and I are working on all my social media stuff now. My MLIS is from the University of South Carolina and I worked in children's services in Fairfax County, Virginia.
