Emily Brennan, MSLS, is originally from California and relocated to Colorado in 2023. She earned her Master of Science in Library and Information Science in 2024, following a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature from San Diego State University in 2020.

As the Outreach and Metadata Specialist, Emily organizes outreach initiatives, programs, and resource instruction, while also managing the library’s online catalog.

Outside of work, Emily enjoys reading and writing (classic librarian!), rock climbing throughout Colorado, and spending time with her cats, Foxglove and Pancake. She also volunteers with the Ukrainian Archive Initiative, Focus Ukraine, where she digitizes archival materials and provides metadata instruction.
