Welcome Alex!
| |
Hey everyone! I'm pretty stoked to join the team here at E.D. Locke Public Library at the circulation desk. Libraries are a career change for me, I spent over a decade in the Navy prior to earning my library degree here at UW Madison this Spring. I am fortunate to have a pretty amazing family; wife, toddler, and two teenagers. I have always loved books so working in a library was a natural choice for me. |

I tend towards some pretty trashy zombie fiction most of the time, but also love to dabble in sci-fi and historical fiction. When I'm not reading you can find me out backpacking the Ice Age Trail, watching Women's Basketball, or wandering around playing PokemonGo. That is, when I'm not out with my little dude at the zoo or hunting down construction equipment to ogle.
