Hi there! I'm Kimberly Hirsh. My pronouns are she/ her/hers. I'm somebody's mom. I work as a school librarian. I have a PhD in information and library science. I love to read, play tabletop and video games, and make things. I used to perform in theater and improv comedy and I may one day again. I have been extremely online since 1993 and still enjoy tinkering on the web. I manage multiple chronic illnesses. I'm married to my kid's dad. We have a cat.

Super informal survey but hey library workers, what would a professional organization that worked for YOU look like?
Chatting with Casey about D&D this morning and I’m thinking about constructivist pedagogy and how the DM can create a gradual release of responsibility to the player.
