My name is Rebecca Wood and I am currently a senior at Worcester State University, majoring in psychology. Another huge part of my life is working at the university library on campus at the circulation desk. I was able to get this job when I was a freshmen and have loved every minute of it since. When I was younger I could no read until I was in the 2nd grade, this really pushed me to work hard and I also think this was where my passion for books came from. Since I could not read as fast as the other children, my parents where always reading to me and having me stay after school for extra help. After a lot of work I was finally able to read and you could not stop me, I would pick up a book and I would not put it down until I was finished. Sometimes my mom would bring me to the public library and let me pick out a book and I would finish it before the end of the day. My towns public library is beautiful and is full of history and that sense of calmness you get when your around a whole bunch of books, I love it. Almost everyday after school when I was waiting for a ride home I would wait inside and read books, sometimes I would even do my homework. When I was in high school I was able to do an internship with the schools library and really see how the system really works. From this one internship I was able to find my passion in life, I fell in love helping people find books for classes or books to read just for fun. Helping people use the library is one of the things I still love today and hope to continue to do for a long time. With this blog I hope to share my ideas about public libraries around the world and how the can use social media as an asset to help promote the library. This blog is for my Social Media class CM315 at Worcester State University.
