Well, this year our book list of 100 Essential TGNC reads is featured on the NYPL homepage. I’m really happy that after a lot of work, we were able to roll out mandatory all-staff trainings to support TGNC people throughout the library system. We also put out a resource list of community programs for TGNC people and a big book list. These include the gender creative dramatic play for kids, author talks, trans oral history project listening party, and other things. That led me to be a co-leader of the Transforming NYPL Project, which is a group run by staff of trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming and ally staff that has worked to run staff trainings on etiquette and awareness for the trans community and put together a bunch of public-facing programs. I’m really lucky to have a lot of freedom to do a lot of things at the Library. I’m the Chief Librarian for the NYPL’s Andrew Heiskell Braille and Talking Book Library that serves people with print disabilities.Ĭool! How do you incorporate LGBTQIA activism into your work? I also love being right across the way from the Met Museum. I love being close to two parks and being able to live with so many trees right around my building. I live on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
