Me
Hello from the Hamilton Mill Branch of the Gwinnett County Public Library! I'm the Teen Rep and Genealogy buff for this branch. I'll be using this account in library programs to support our customers in learning about critical thinking, researching primary source, media literacy, and the use of Technology, including coding and basic internet usage.

As Librarians, we follow the guidelines of the American Library Association, including promotion of Freedom of information, multiple types of literacies, and increased access to resources; we stand against censorship.

My personal interests are in Genealogy Research (with a focus on the Southeastern United States), Historic preservation, Women's history, and Community Science (with a focus on Birdwatching).
