Know your Eboard: Jade Braden

jade
What WPLU Board position are you?
Secretary.
 
How long have you been with the organization?
It’ll be 5 years in August.
 
What brought you to libraries?
The library has always been a place of calm for me. A place where so much information is at my fingertips. It makes me proud of what's best in our society.

Why did you get involved with WPLU?
I've always thought unions were an important and powerful form of collective action so when I was asked to take up with WPLU I said “Where do I sign?".
 
What does WPLU mean to you?
It means showing up every day for something that matters. The work we do materially improves the lives of our coworkers and community members and it connects us to a rich history of activism and justice.
 
What celebrities share your birthday?
Weird Al.
 
What is a "perfect" day for you?
A day spent with my friends and my husband. Getting curious about something. Being outside, going antiquing, knitting.

What would be your last meal?
Chocolate. Just a lot of chocolate. And coffee.
 
What's one thing you would want WPLU members to know about you?
Should this be serious? Silly? Vulnerable?
Editor's note: All of the above?
