Welcome to www.heidijogustad.com, the website for librarian, social medialite, filmmaker and musician Heidi (Jo) Gustad. Watch this video to learn a little bit about why I love libraries and became a librarian.
In my spare time, I blog and Tweet about libraries, librarians, library advocacy, libraries in the mainstream and more at Book Mobilize.
I am the Online Content/PR Coordinator for the Capital Area District Library system. Visit cadl.org to learn more about my library.
This summer, I’m also managing the graphic design, web administration and social media for my local library’s millage renewal campaign, Support CADL.
Last but not least, I will be graduating with a Master of Library and Information Science degree from Wayne State University next May.

In the case of this NPR article, I’m not so […]
