Fun Reads

About the Librarian:
Ray Pun

I am glad to have met all of you in-person in July! I’ve been a librarian for over 10 years now and I am also a graduate student like you! My doctoral research focuses on using critical race theory to explore ethnic communities’ experiences under the digital divide in Central Valley California. 

As your librarian, I am happy to support your research and writing needs! Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. We can zoom, chat on the phone or correspond via email. Best of luck for this year!
