FINDING YOUR "SHELF"








I am employed here at Decatur Public Library as a Reference Assistant. Part of my job is writing this River City Readers blog. I love to read books, especially Science Fiction. I am left-handed and am an identical twin. I have a lot of tattoos. Halloween is my favorite holiday. Sloths are my favorite animal. Walking and running are the types of exercise I enjoy most. I eat a mainly vegetarian diet but also like to bake fancy cakes. I also spend a lot of time here in Alabama happily sewing and doing crafts.

Instead of using words, if I were to describe myself using the Dewey Decimal System (and books available in our library’s nonfiction collection) I would be:
