About Jade Goodwin
Passionate Library & Information Science Professional | Empowering Communities Through Knowledge & Access With a strong background in library science and ESL education, I am dedicated to making information more accessible, organized, and impactful. Whether supporting research services, developing language programs, or enhancing user experience (UX) in libraries, I thrive on creating inclusive and engaging learning environments. Currently, I serve as a Public Service Assistant at Hudson Library & Historical Society, where I focus on supporting our English Language Learner (ELL) community and teen engagement initiatives. Through outreach, programming, and resource development, I strive to foster lifelong learning and digital literacy. Passionate about bridging the gap between technology and traditional librarianship, I am committed to leveraging emerging library technologies, information access strategies, and community-driven services to create meaningful connections between people and knowledge. Let’s connect to discuss collaborations, research, or innovative LIS trends!
