Welcome to Lianne’s Library

Welcome to my own little piece of cyberspace. In stumbling upon this site, you might be a little curious about its creator. I should make it very clear here that I am NOT the Lianne Hanson from National Public Radio. My parents are a little put out that they were not as original as they thought.   I’ve lived almost all my life in New Hampshire, the land of the ugliest (so far) state quarter. I am a graduate of Mount Holyoke College, “where the women are women and the men are guests”.  I spent a year working in Financial Aid and getting sweared at daily for my trouble before attending Simmons College, where I earned my Master’s degree. I work as a librarian and archivist at a small college.   This past year was a momentous one for me – I bought a condo, my little sister got married, but most importantly of all, I met and am now engaged to a great (but silly) man who reminds me every day that “life is good”.    My hobbies and interests are a bit random, but they keep me out of trouble. I read lots (especially mystery novels), play the violin badly, collect model horses, play softball, despair over the Boston Red Sox and work on my genealogy. Over the next few months (and years), I’ll also be helping my fiancé as he finishes building his 27-foot sailboat.   Accomplishments: v   Survived two years of commuting to Boston v   Only (so far as I know) American bowler on the University of Sussex’s Women’s Cricket Team v   Can still diagram a sentence – thanks  Sr. Bernadine! v   Awarded “Best Giggler” in Kindergarten   Regrets: v   Dating a sniveling, alcoholic weasel v   Not taking equestrian in college v   Not taking a class taught by the late Joseph Brodsky at Mt. Holyoke v   Waiting ten years to play softball again   Free Advice: v   Take responsibility for your actions v   Be nice to secretaries, janitors and librarians – they’re the ones who really run the world! v   Read the directions before opening up a Yankee Candle “Car Jar”  (my nose has never recovered!)
