Hello, everyone!
After recharging my introvert batteries after conference and spending the weekend protesting, I thought I'd introduce myself. My name is April Sheppard and I am SRRT's 2022-2023 Coordinator. I am an Assistant Library Director at Arkansas State University in Northeast Arkansas. My social justice interests include diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, intellectual freedom, LGBTQ+, critical race theory, homelessness, and environment/sustainability. My non-SRRT interests include music, particularly heavy metal, horror movies, and apparently adopting and fostering animals (although, I think it's more like they adopt me).
I look forward to serving as Coordinator this upcoming year. My contact information is below. If you have any comments, questions, or concerns regarding SRRT or any social justice or library issue, I'm always an email away.
