About Me

Paul Everett Nelson: Library advocate, Adjunct Assistant Professor (UW-Madison School of Library and Information Studies), inveterate gatherer of facts and figures, library director (retired). Son of a preacher man, a Lutheran minister who had churches in Auburn Washington (1943-52), Great Falls Montana (1952-57), and Warren Pennsylvania (1957-81). I graduated from Warren Area High School in 1968, SUNY Buffalo in 1972 (BA in English), and the Univ. of Pittsburgh in 1974 (Masters in Library Science). Until I found my way into the public library world, I worked at the G. & C. Merriam Co. in Springfield, Mass, my mother's hometown. I'm married to JoAnna Richard, a match made in heaven -- and at the Oshkosh Public Library, where I worked as a department head for 8 years. (Yes, we actually met in a library!) JoAnna is currently the Deputy Secretary in the Department of Workforce Development. We have two boys: Andy (22), a junior at UW-Milwaukee, and Eddie (18), a freshman at UW-Stevens Point. We also have a cat named Boxer, but the less said about her, the better.
