Ashely P. and I talk about the difference between a librarian and library specialist, getting your Master's in Library and Information Science (MLIS), building a collection and cataloging, the pay, the different roles/jobs at a library, and learning to assert and protect yourself as a librarian.
About Ashley: Ashley (also known as The Library Bae) resides in Virginia and works as a Youth Services Librarian with the Fairfax County Library System. After falling in love with her local library and its contributions to the community, she obtained her MLIS (Master of Library and Information Science) from Valdosta State University and has worked in public libraries for almost 10 years. Ashley enjoys working with youth from birth to teens, talking to and teaching others about youth literacy, STEM and STEAM, and promoting diversity, inclusion and equity in libraries.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
