Thomas Alexander

Thomas is an MLIS graduate student at UCLA and an aspiring librarian—public or academic, anywhere he gets to help people run down the rabbit holes of their curiosity. He was inspired to become a librarian by his experiences first as a public library patron (shoutout LA County Library and Oakland Public Library), and then later as a library assistant (♥️ Contra Costa County Library). He is committed to advancing democratic, non-commercial avenues for producing and sharing knowledge. He organizes with the Los Angeles Tenants Union and enjoys tennis, improvised music, birdwatching, and singing in his car
