Meet Your Librarians! Part 1 (of 2)

Allison Etzel earned her Masters of Arts in Library and Information Science from the University of South Florida in 2008.  A few years later, this very mountain town began calling her name. Allison is forever grateful to escape the FL heat and is happy to call Asheville her home. She loves to serve the students and faculty of the Center for Graduate Studies of Asheville as an Instruction & Reference Librarian. 

As many often assume about librarians, Allison has a passion for the written word. She especially loves poetry. She is currently in the works of writing poems for a children's poetry book. She is also fond of painting and in the middle of painting a series of strange kitties. Outside of academia and having bookworm tendencies, you can probably find Allison taking in the natural beauty of Western North Carolina, spending time with her black cat Diego, sipping coffee, haunting the local thrift stores, or most likely, out seeing live music.
