Elaine Tai (she/her) is a librarian with strong interests in social justice and lifelong learning, often seen pushing informative books and events on anyone who will listen (check out library events - they’re great!). She has been lucky to work on award committees for the Asian Pacific American Librarians Association and Global Literature in Libraries Initiative, as well as dabble in various other professional engagements. She is a book-lover, wannabe-patron-of-the-arts, and a [very] amateur artist. She lives in the SF Bay Area with her curmudgeonly cat Neko.
