I have been working for Berkeley Public Library as a Library Aide for five years, during which time I work in Technical Service Department processing, and mending books. I also process lots of media, so I get my hands on plenty of discarded, yet colorful and beautiful music CD packaging that does not fit in the library's plastic boxes. Throughout the years, I've saved and saved these discarded boxes and finally, Eureka! I have eventually found a good, fun way to recycle them. Anagram Series was my first, and Slang is my second and most recent series. Being an immigrant myself, I created this series in memory of a Japanese student who came to the United States to study, and got killed by the police a few years ago because he did not understand the word "Freeze!" Even though freeze is not a slang, I had included it in the series because I thought it would be a helpful word for a recent immigrant to know.
