    In honor of the 2nd anniversary of my memoir, “Confessions of a Young Adult’s Life,” I thought it would nice to share this amazing conversation that I had with Jamie Crockett, founder of Shining Light Media.

    Librarians in Conversation feat. Tracie Randolph

    This week I had the esteemed privilege of talking to a library veteran. At the time of our conversation, Mrs. Tracie Randolph was an Assistant Library Director in Upland California. She recently accepted a new position in Del City, Oklahoma, becoming a Library Manager in the Metropolitan Library System. With over 25 years of experience working in libraries, she talks about her journey to become a librarian, expanding library programming, and her thoughts on how the profession could change their recruitment strategy to attract more diverse candidates. It truly was a pleasure!
