My name is Sam Ehlinger (they/she) and I’m a queer soon-to-be real life librarian! After my writing career in journalism and communications, I decided to make a big career shift for myself and go into librarianship. I completed my MSLIS at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in May 2024, and will be starting a job as an elementary school librarian in Fall 2025.

Comment on a post and tell me what kinds of libraries you are working in or hoping to work in! I look forward to meeting you.
