Mandi Townsend | Reference Supervisor | Brandon Public Library

Mandi has been with CMRLS for 5 months! 

Here's more from Mandi:

1. What is your favorite part of working in the library?

I love meeting new people and helping them to solve their problems. I also love researching new books and making sure that our library represents all of our patrons.

2. Was there a book that made you love reading?

Seeing all of these Babysitters Club graphic novels has reminded me of how much I loved those books as a kid. I wanted to have my own babysitters' club. I loved all of the characters, but Claudia was my favorite. She was so spirited and unique. I love her!

3. Tell us one e-resource you wish more people knew about.

We have so many great e-resources, it's too hard to choose just one. Check out all of them in our Virtual Reference Collection at cmrls.lib.ms.us.

4. What do you like to do when you're not at the library?

I love to play video games. While I'm not as much of a gamer as I used to be, I like to explore new worlds through video games. I also like to macrame. It's so relaxing.

5. What is your idea of the perfect vacation?

I would love to take my husband and my son on an extended vacation to Scotland to really explore Edinburgh and Glasgow. After that, we would go to the moors and the Scottish Highlands. We would travel to some of the quaint Scottish villages and delve into some old castles (hopefully, we will see a ghost!). Finally, we would go to one of the Pebble beaches.

6. What is your favorite holiday?

Halloween. I love the fall, and Halloween has such a great vibe!
