Heather Wright (Abrams)
| Work life? (e.g., education, first job, occupation): | I got a BA in Journalism and MBA in Marketing Research from UW Madison. Worked in marketing and marketing research positions in Chicago and Washington DC until I figured out the cutthroat world of corporate America wasn’t for me. So I got another masters degree in Library Science and became a children’s librarian, which I remain to this day. I’m thinking about retiring but I really love the books and the kids and the stimulation of helping people find information. Running book clubs, doing storytimes, conducting Socrates Cafes, getting people thinking and reading—it’s a great way to earn money. |
|---|---|
| Family life? (e.g., spouse, kids/grandkids, friends, places lived): | Married in 1984, and have two kids, a daughter in New York and a son here in Maryland. We divorced in 2011, and I remarried in 2012. Sadly, my second husband died in 2018. No grandkids yet, but I remain optimistic. |
| Doing today? (e.g., where do you live, working or retired, hobbies, travels): | I live in Rockville, Maryland, a suburb of Washington DC. Still working, but COVID changed the way libraries do business, and it’s not as fun any more. And why work if it’s not fun? So I’m seriously thinking about retiring and maybe moving back to Madison. I do come back frequently to visit friends and family. My hobbies include reading, of course, and writing. Keeping healthy with walking and occasional swimming. |
| Bucket list? (e.g., plans for the future, travel): | When I retire, I intend to travel everywhere! And to hopefully do more writing. I have some interesting ideas for new careers, so we shall see where these ideas take me. |
