Library: University at Buffalo, Charles B. Sears Law Library
Location: Buffalo, NY
Website: https://law.lib.buffalo.edu/

Five Questions:

1. If you could be any character in fiction, who would you be? Hermione Granger – super smart and fearless. Plus, she uses her library skills to research information to defeat all of the obstacles her, Harry and Ron come across.

2. Three people with whom you would love to have dinner? Princess Diana, Laura Ingalls Wilder and Queen Elizabeth I.

3. Last photo you took with your phone? A picture of my 1.5 year old daughter swinging at the playground. She got tired of watching her 4 year old brother play T-ball.

4. If you could live in a book or movie, what would it be? I’d like to live in the movie Amelie. It seems like it would be so idyllic. Or maybe I’d live in one of the Harry Potter books.

5. Favorite travel destination? London. I’ve been there a few times but not recently. Would love to go back and take my kids and husband. I’d want to go all over the UK and Ireland this time, though. Maybe when I retire I can travel the world. That would be the best.
