A Short Introduction

Hi, I'm Meghan, and I'm the Systems & Instructional Multimedia Librarian here at National University.

I graduated from the School of Library and Information Management at Emporia State University with a master’s in Library Science in 2015. I have been working as a librarian since July 2016, mostly in university libraries, but also for a short time as a youth services librarian. I have worked at NU since September 2022. 

At home, I take care of my two children (7yo and 5yo) and my 12-year-old Maltipoo, Sam. I enjoy baking, reading, and watching anything that isn’t a kid's show! I have also authored/illustrated multiple children's stories and sell printable designs.
