They seek to cultivate a deeper understanding of how libraries  contribute to civic diversity and  community and serve as democratic infrastructure. They have a passion for instruction and helping communities access knowledge.  As a librarian, they hope that by inviting these conversations they will create space for deeper community engagement, leading to a more holistic reference service experience.\r\n \r\nTheir passion for exploring and strengthening the role that libraries  play in our broader democratic infrastructure has been realized in their own scholarship and practice. These passions for documenting democratic practice  in public spaces are partially realized in their ongoing photography project \u201cwhat I see when I walk.\u201d In their free time, they enjoy hiking, crafting cocktails, practicing aikido, and embroidery.","link":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/author\/smurra20pratt-edu","slug":"smurra20pratt-edu","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/425d20f6bb3246d1c6bc9c73e110c6ed7f02da607ae183671dd863433bc236fb?s=24&d=blank&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/425d20f6bb3246d1c6bc9c73e110c6ed7f02da607ae183671dd863433bc236fb?s=48&d=blank&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/425d20f6bb3246d1c6bc9c73e110c6ed7f02da607ae183671dd863433bc236fb?s=96&d=blank&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/studentwork.prattsi.org\/infoshow\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
