Who's that girl?

Introducing our librarian intern, Lora Smallman!




A little about Lora...

Education: I spent my undergraduate years at UIUC studying German, which included a year abroad in Vienna, Austria. I just graduated from the University of Illinois with a master's degree in library and information science.

Library/Work Experience: I first learned I wanted to be a librarian when I was class librarian in 5th grade (we had an extensive Nancy Drew collection that I took full advantage of.)

Personal: I love dogs, especially my toy poodle, Peanut, that lives with my parents. I once knitted a scarf. I hate working out. I love baking (go figure). Ella Fitzgerald is my one of my favorite singers. I stand at a towering 5'1".

Interesting fact: I worked as a flight attendant after college and am much happier to work on solid ground.

Lora will work as a librarian intern at Parkland Library until July 2009. She comes to us through the IMLS/GSLIS/NILRC community college librarianship grant intern program. For information about this program, click here.
