"SO IT GOES" HOME LIBRARY & DESIGN
As a fairly new graduate student, I have just begun my journey on the path to becoming a librarian. I am currently enrolled in the MLIS program at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I am hoping to use this site as a portfolio, as well as documentation of my progress through graduate school. Please feel free to explore my site to learn more about me, get a better look at the work I do, and see what I can do for you.

ABOUT ME
Bethany Meyer Wyrick
I grew up in Virginia, and moved to North Carolina in 2006. I attended Bandys High School in Catawba, NC. I split my undergrad years at Appalachian State University and Pfeiffer University. I received my BA in Communication Studies in 2013, and I am currently enrolled in the online MLIS program at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I work full time as an Administrative Assistant/Scheduler at Williams- Sonoma in Claremont, NC. I am a single mother to an amazing, insanely weird five-year-old named Annaleigh, and we live together happily in Taylorsville.
On the off chance that I have any spare time, I love to read and do projects around the house. Annaleigh and I like to draw, paint, and play outside in our tree house. We also enjoy visiting the Patrick Beaver Memorial Library in Hickory.

SCHOOLÂ ASSIGNMENTS
Below are links to various assignments and projects I have completed throughout my academic career.
ARTWORK
I went through a dictionary page phase for a while, and these were a few of my favorites. I found a fantastic, old dictionary at a thrift store, and I used felt tip pens for the pictures. I started with book covers and quotes from my favorite novels, then sort of branched out from there.
HOME PROJECTS
FIREPLACE AND CUSTOM SHELVING
I bought this mantel for $60 on Craigslist, then added trim to match and make it look like a real fireplace. I also painted the inside black and bought a small space heater for actual warmth during the colder months. I eventually added shelving on the sides for a place to store some of my books. It was a challenge finding a stain to match the original wood of the mantel, but it was still a really fun project. The fireplace is probably my favorite of all the projects I have done in my house.
ARTWORK DISPLAY BOARDS
I originally found this idea on Pinterest. I purchased cheap lumber from Lowes, and I used basic eyelets and wire for the hardware. Annaleigh loves to draw and paint, and I love to see her colorful pictures hanging up in my office.
HOUSE NUMBERS
Another Pinterest find: the board was just leftover lumber from previous projects, and the house numbers are from Lowes. I use the same stain on most of my wood projects to keep the color scheme uniform throughout my house.
