GIANT Mentors Spotlight: Meet Emma!

Name: Emma Kornetov

Library Name: Gunn Memorial Library

Title: Makerspace Specialist and Librarian

Tell us a bit about yourself… Hi! I’m Emma - a librarian and maker who's passionate about encouraging people of all ages to share ideas, learn new artistic tools and techniques, and experience the joy of creative self-expression. I love facilitating craft workshops, developing tutorials, curating resource collections, and learning from other library makers. In my free time, I enjoy sewing, reading fantasy novels and cozy mysteries, gardening, and exploring hiking trails with my husband and our adorable Italian Greyhound.

My favorite Remix program with The GIANT Room has been… Dream Up a Character! It was so cool to see how everyone created such unique designs!

My favorite children’s book are… The Mitten by Jan Brett, Stuck!  by Oliver Jeffers, and All the World by Liz Garton Scanlon.

My favorite thing to do in my town/city is… Reading outside at the park.

Something I can spend hours doing and never get bored… Working on counted cross stitch projects. It's so satisfying to see the picture come together!
