Watson-Boone
Rebecca
Watson-Boone has a Masters and a Ph.D. in Library/Information
Science. She has worked as an academic librarian at Princeton
University and the University of Arizona (Tucson), and has
taught in graduate LIS programs. Her most recent book was
published in 2007 by the American Library Association and
is titled “A Good Match: Library Career Opportunities for
Graduates of Liberal Arts Colleges”. Rebecca sees the Placitas
Community Library as the community's commons, general information
and reading center, and open door to learning for people
of all ages. She hopes that the library's new building will
be large enough to include a collection of materials about
the history, culture, and current happenings of Placitas.
