About
Howdy, my name is Michelle Boule. I am a Geek Librarian living in Houston, TX. This year, I was named a Library Journal Mover and Shaker. In my previous library lives I was a Social Sciences Librarian at the University of Houston and a shelver at Irving Public Library.
I am available for freelance writing, consulting, and training on topics ranging from technology in libraries, training the trainer, adult learning, and being a good subject liaison. If you are interested in my work, please see my presentation and writing pages. Have a job or want to collaborate on a project? Contact me.
I am married to my very own rocket scientist who puts up with my crazy ways and keeps me around for reasons undiscovered by modern scientists. I have a wee bairn, named Gideon. We live in the suburbs, own a house, and have a Nebolish Mastiff named Pullo who defies the laws of Physics. He poops in a larger volume than he consumes. It is a miracle of nature. I will read almost anything in book form, love to cook, bake, go camping, and mountain biking. I dislike steamed zucchini, snow skiing, and running.
I went to Texas A&M University, Class of 2001, and, realizing no one would hire an English major to do anything else but teach, I attended graduate school at Texas Woman’s University. After receiving my MLS, I landed a job in the largest university in my home town of Houston. It looks like for now, I am in Houston to stay.
I started this little blog in November of 2004 on Blogger as an anonymous librarian posting under the name “Jane.” Although I am putting my real name on this about page, I have become too attached to Jane to give her up so easily. She is a part of who I am and the character behind A Wandering Eyre, so she will remain.
