Our conversation today with Kerry Kilpatrick, Lord Fairfax Community College (Fauquier campus) librarian, ran the gamut from her typical day, being involved in the classroom and genuinely enjoying helping students to talking about her potentially lifesaving surgery.
Kerry explained that librarians aren't what we may think they are. At LFCC, they work with professors through workshops and seminars to help them understand the process after an assignment is given. She told us how they interact and help students in need of physical materials as well as online research.
We also talked about her inflammatory bowel disease diagnosis a few years ago and why she's become an advocate & educator for more people to feel comfortable talking about it and seek preventative care.
