  • "Changes in technology happen so quickly [and] that’s part of where libraries are really stepping up. In COVID, we pivoted to online instruction and we did it quickly. I think we did a really good job. We can pivot so easily professionally."

  • "Communication skills, writing skills, policy writing skills, grant writing skills... if people have that kind of experience, that puts them right to the top of the list."

  • "Interning or working in the library, while you're in school and learning, makes all the difference."

  • "I work at an institution where everybody wears a bunch of hats. You don't just sit and do one thing every day."
