Amanpreet Kaur, CFCS, MLIS is a former science librarian and public health fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, where she is currently pursuing a Master of Public Health degree. Through research projects at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Literacy Lab and the We Needs Books Library (Greece's only multilingual library), Aman is exploring how libraries and literacy efforts support health and wellness. Her previous work as an academic librarian was at the crossroads of libraries, STEM education, public health, campus wellness, and community engagement. Her subject specialities as an academic librarian were engineering, health sciences, community health, health literacy, and dental medicine. Kaur previously worked at Rutgers in multiple capacities before returning to SC&I as a part-time faculty member in 2020. In 2019, the American Library Association New Member Round Table named her an "Alternative Voice" within the field of librarianship. Outside of libraries, she enjoys volunteering for a variety of non-profit organizations, exercising (zumba, yoga, and high-intensity interval training), and painting.
