Greetings from WiLS’ Summer Intern, Caroline Pacey
Hello! My name is Caroline Pacey and I will be an intern at WiLS for the summer.
I graduated from La Roche University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with a degree in Literature in the spring of 2020. Now, I am in the Information and Library Science Graduate Program at UW Madison. I am concentrating on the data and information analytics side of library programs.
I have worked in many different jobs within libraries. I shelved books, shifted books on the stacks, worked in interlibrary loan, at the information desk, as well as at the circulation desk. I also started a book club for students at my undergraduate school. Being involved with WiLS is a great change of pace!
On the personal side, I am from a small town in Pennsylvania called Mars. I have a three-year-old dog named Raquel Belle. She is a border collie and German shepherd mix with a sassy attitude. Some of my hobbies include cross-stitching, reading, and playing with Raquel.

Once again, WiLS is serving as a mentor organization. From September 2020 through August 2022, Emily Pfotenhauer and Community Memory & Digital Archives Consultant Ellen Brooks, with the help of Vicki Tobias, are offering support and cohesion for these projects and their managers.

Do you wanna (teach others to) build a podcast?
In 2019, WiLS funded Lodi Public Library’s amazing idea of partnering with the Lodi High School to teach podcasting to high school students. They did that AND they have produced a ton of great material to share with other WiLS members looking to get into the podcasting – and teaching podcasting – business! Read more
