Staff Spotlight: Jessica's Connections

Staff member Jessica says: “I love a wide variety of music, movies, and books, and I'm thrilled when I find that things that don't seem connected yet somehow are. The idea and reality of connection is something that fascinates and intrigues me to no end and I'm always looking for these sometimes hidden and sometimes obvious connections.” Read on to learn about some of her favorites at the library!
