Hello everyone! My name is Emily Maitland and I am the new part-time librarian here at Richard Bland! A few things about me I am actually a former graduate of RBC I was here from 2016 to 2018 before transferring to Longwood University to finish my undergrad. I recently graduate from Longwood in May with a Bachelors of Arts in English Literature with a minor in Children's Literature. I originally set out on the path to become a teacher, but changed my path when I discovered I wasn't as passionate about it as I thought I was. So I started towards the path of becoming a librarian. I am currently in my first semester of graduate school at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in their Library Science masters program! My future goals are to hopefully be done by 2024 and either work in an academic setting or in a public setting working with young adults.
When I'm not taking classes or working, I enjoy reading, my current read at the moment is The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski, I love the Witcher series I'd played the games growing up, and am an avid fan of the show, but had never read the books until now! My reading goal for 2022 is at least a hundred books. Other than reading, I love binge watching Netflix, listening to music, going out with my friends, and boyfriend, playing with my dog, Harry, going to the beach (whether it's cold or warm) and trying out new dessert recipes. A few of my favorite things are: my boyfriend, Jake, Harry Styles ( I've seen him live three times and I cannot wait for his third album, I need it to get through grad school), MARVEL! I am HUGE marvel fan, my two main comfort characters are Bucky Barnes and Wanda Maximoff, I will talk your head off about marvel if you let me. Same goes for Harry Styles, I will talk endlessly about him if I am not stopped.
I am very excited to be back where I started my college career, and I look forward to meeting new faces when the semester starts!
