Libraries, Literacy, and Cats Short Conversations with Mychal Threets
Libraries, Literacy, and Cats
Short Conversations Hosted by iSchool Alum Mychal Threets
SJSU iSchool alum Mychal Threets talks to iSchool current students and alumni to find out why librarians need a Master of Library and Information Science degree and so much more. These short conversations about libraries and literacy celebrate how much librarians love books, people, and the community, as well as animals! A special thanks to Mini Cat Town in San Jose, California for the special appearances by our furry friends.
