On May 9, 2003 Christine Borne launched the electronic discussion group NEXGENLIB-L. Her aim was to involve colleagues around her age professionally, a group usually unheard in the professional literature and discussions. The list quickly burned up with complaints about library school and work places, frustration about poor pay and student loans, requests for help with job interviews, pent up ideas for the profession, and the pure joy of networking with newly discovered peers. Borne has high expectations for the profession. "Librarianship needs to infiltrate into popular culture," as well as "be more active in encouraging civic engagement." For herself, she envisions "a perfect little directorship where they are open to somebody a little younger." When she gets there she will strive to integrate the library into the community while continuing to touch base on the reference desk. This article discusses Christine Borne from the Shaker Heights Public Library in Ohio, her accomplishments, and her hopes for her future in her library career.
