About Me
- Allaina
- I am a motorcycling librarian and began blogging to keep a diary of my motorcycle adventures. It is a good way to keep track of my mileage, mpg, and maintenance. And my friends and family can read it and learn about my rides too. I've been a librarian since my first summer job at the New Orleans Public Library when I was a junior in high school. It was my destiny to become a librarian. I've been a professional librarian since 2004. I've been riding since 2006 (but rode first in the Peace Corps 1993-95).
