 My name is Michael Dyke. I'm an assistant librarian with the Public Services Department of Hodges Library. After I got my master's degree, I got hired on full time and started the position I'm in now in November 2016. I was born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee. First in my family, actually. The rest of my family comes from Virginia, so a bit of an oddball in that regard. I'd say I like two things a lot about the UT libraries. I like the fact that being in public services, I get to work up front with a lot of people, and along with that comes variability. I get a lot of interesting questions people ask me on a daily basis, and I really enjoy that none of my days end up turning out kind of the same. Okay, so this is weird, but as a librarian, I'm not a big fan of books so much. I'm a very big fan of independent rap music. I really like to hear unique sounds, things I haven't heard before. So yeah, favorite rappers, Idea, POS, Shad K, also known as Shad, Christoph Crane.
