Lisa Gonzalez is the newest member of the CTU library, having joined the staff a few weeks ago as the Electronic Resources Librarian.

After completing a degree in theology at Fuller, she is happy to be back in her native Illinois. Though she doesn't like to conform to librarian stereotypes, Lisa does admit to being both a book lover and an aficionado of cats.
