senior thesis research

In 2012-2013, I conducted my senior thesis research, on adult programs in public libraries. My focus was on looking at how public libraries can increase attendance of adult programs. I was a student at Beloit College, Wisconsin, majoring in Education & Youth Studies, with a minor in Museum Studies.
