2005 - Julie Huffman
My name is Julie Huffman, and I graduated with my MLIS in June of 2005. During my school years, I was the co-president of the student chapter of the Special Libraries Association. However, upon graduation, I became a different kind of "special" librarian–a public librarian! I’d worked as an MC for the Los Angeles Public Library for four years–before and during school, and LAPL paid for my tuition. Upon graduation, I was hired by them as a full-time young adult librarian for the Studio City branch. A year later, I transferred to become the Studio City library’s full-time adult librarian (my current post). I love my job: I teach computer classes (mostly, to seniors), I have a monthly book club, and I get to do lots of collection development. It’s a good gig. Best wishes, Julie
