Tricia London earned her Master's in Library Science from Simmons College in 1988. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in English with a minor in Theater from University of Massachusetts. This is her seventh year at Abington Middle/High Library. Mrs. London is also the advisor to the National Honor Society.
Prior to working in Abington Mrs. London was the Library Director at the Avon Middle High School Library, serving students in grades 7-12. She was also the Diversity Club adviser and the coach of the school Academic Decathlon team.
In her spare time, Mrs. London enjoys doing jigsaw puzzles, playing pickleball and swimming, but not at the same time. She has been a part time Reference Librarian at the Westwood Public Library for almost 30 years..
Mrs. London is enthusiastic about e-books. In 2012 she was appointed to the MA Statewide Resource Sharing Committee and for many years served on the Steering Committee and Collection Development task force for the statewide E-Books project (which looks far more impressive on her resume than being a judge for the Romance Writers of America Contest, one of her activities in 2007-2009.) This is her sixth year serving on the MA Teen Choice Book Award Selection Committee. In addition to statewide activities, Mrs. London is also one of a hundred librarians chosen for the American Library Association's Law for Librarian initial cohort.
Mrs. London's husband, Brian is a semi-retired financial analyst; her son, Alex, is a reference librarian / archivist in Worcester; her daughter, Jillian is a chiropractor in Sharon.
