Mary Kelly received an MBA and
an MLIS from Wayne State University, after which, she
has spent years irritating fellow librarians with her grand plans for collection
development and/or world domination. Mary's OCD tendencies have turned into a
crusade for collection quality and a clean shelf list Along with Holly Hibner, this obsession has morphed into the website AwfulLibraryBooks.net.
With over 15 years of experience in public library service, Mary has been involved in everything from collection development, budgets, reference, story time, and even moving a deer from the library parking lot. Currently, Mary works as a youth services librarian in a small library where everyone does everything.
