Welcome to Behind the Bookshelf, a feature on our social media and in our library where we profile one staff member a week. The goal of this feature is to allow our patrons to learn more about our staff on a personal level; this will also help you figure out who to go to for book recommendations. ;)

Meet Michaela E., our amazing Library Assistant! When not working at the library, Michaela spends her time passionately advocating for human and land rights and healthcare access, creating, reading, and snuggling her two cats!

You've probably spotted Michaela taking photos at our various events - she is our unofficial (but also official) photographer and has a keen eye for creating beautiful images.
