Carole A. Durst 

Why did you choose to become a librarian?

I am a Library Program Associate for the Denver Public Library system. I worked for DPL off and on for a little over twelve years now, so my passion for libraries is what propelled me to go back to school. In addition, I am a certified pharmacy technician, so I have always had an interest in the medical field.

Where did you attend college?

 I am currently a student at Texas Woman's University. I will be receiving my Dual Master's in Library Science and Health Studies in the Spring of 2022. In addition, I am currently finishing up a certificate in herbal medicine, and I hope to complete the Certified Colorado Garden Program to become a master gardener.
