Kate Wolfe


Library Associate | Problem Solver

Who I am.

Hi! I'm Kate. I work behind the scenes at the Cambridge Public Library. When I'm not cataloging books or processing invoices, I'm exploring the Library's data to find new ways to improve our services. I am friendly, reliable, smart, and self-motivated.

My favorite pastimes include coding and petting dogs. I'm pretty good at the first, and an expert at the second. Python is my jam, but I also have significant experience with VBA (Excel), JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and SQL. My favorite dog breed is (currently) the English setter.
