You can find Alana at the reference desk every Wednesday from noon to 2:30. You can talk to them if you need help finding, theorizing & engaging with texts in a variety of forms. They also head the Knowledge Commons and the KC Peer Mentoring Program, so you can discuss that at well! If you’re into zines, Alana is also knowledgeable about the Flywheel Arts Collective in Easthampton.
