[edit] Introduction

My name is Kelly Brager but sometime after I get my act together it will change to Kelly Kornkven because I was married in Jamaica over winter break. I currently live in Mayville, North Dakota and work at the Byrnes-Quanbeck Library at Mayville State University. Mayville State is the smallest free-standing public university in the nation.

[edit] Growing Up

I grew up in Monticello, Minnesota before attending college at Mayville State. I graduated in May of 2001 with a degree in education. I majored in elementary education with minors in early childhood education and library science. After graduation I moved back to Monticello and tried to find a position as an elementary teacher. Unfortunately there is a surplus of elementary teachers in the Minneapolis area. I ended up spending the next few years working at Eddie Bauer and substituting at area schools.

[edit] Career

In 2004 I was offered a job at Mayville State as a technical assistant in the serials department of the library. After one year our coordinator of technical services left and I was offered that job on the condition that I would pursue my master’s degree. I did and will graduate in May! After graduation I hope to move back to the Minneapolis area with my new husband and our three cats.
