About the Reviewer:
Donna Bloch is a graduate student at the University of Arizona
in the School of Information Resources and Library Science.
She plans to earn a Master's degree by the spring of 2009.
She found her way to her small town's public library when
she was eleven years old, and it was like discovering hidden
treasure. She has happily shared this treasure with her two
children as they grew and often volunteered in their school
libraries.
A voracious reader, with undergraduate degrees in both English
Literature and Visual Arts, Donna has been working in public
libraries for the past six years as a reference assistant,
and is well on her way to becoming a "real" librarian.
As far as she's concerned, nothing could be greater. Among
other services, she enjoys reader's advisory with both adults
and children in the public library community. She wants to
be an active participant in the changing technological landscape
of public libraries, and the challenges and excitement of
the information age, which will inevitably accompany those
changes.
