## In my free time
I'm exploring both [the Bogleheads investment philosophy](https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Bogleheads%C2%AE_investment_philosophy) and sustainable investing. In the past week, I've read [*The Bogleheads' guide to investing* (2nd ed.)](https://www.wiley.com/en-us/The+Bogleheads%27+Guide+to+Investing%2C+2nd+Edition-p-9781118921289) (Lindauer, Larimore, & LeBoeuf, 2014) and started reading [*Your essential guide to sustainable investing*](https://harriman-house.com/essentialguidetosustainableinvesting) (Swedroe & Adams, 2022).
I attended the 2023 [New Jersey Library Association (NJLA) Conference](https://www.njlaconference.info/) as an Equity Scholar - registration costs were waived by NJLA while travel expenses were partially covered by Rutgers.
I've been exploring both [the Bogleheads investment philosophy](https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Bogleheads%C2%AE_investment_philosophy) and [socially responsible investing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socially_responsible_investing). Last month, I read [*The Bogleheads' guide to investing* (2nd ed.)](https://www.wiley.com/en-us/The+Bogleheads%27+Guide+to+Investing%2C+2nd+Edition-p-9781118921289) (Lindauer, Larimore, & LeBoeuf, 2014), [*Your essential guide to sustainable investing*](https://harriman-house.com/essentialguidetosustainableinvesting) (Swedroe & Adams, 2022), [*The little book of common sense investing* (Tenth anniversary edition)](https://www.wiley.com/en-us/The+Little+Book+of+Common+Sense+Investing%3A+The+Only+Way+to+Guarantee+Your+Fair+Share+of+Stock+Market+Returns%2C+Updated+and+Revised-p-9781119404507) (Bogle, 2017), and [*A random walk down Wall Street* (Fiftieth anniversary edition)](https://www.harvard.com/book/a_random_walk_down_wall_street/) (Malkiel, 2023). I'm also using tools like As You Sow's [Invest Your Values](https://www.asyousow.org/invest-your-values) to compare investment funds: "As You Sow is a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization dedicated to educating and empowering shareholders to change corporations for the good through the collection, analysis and dissemination of relevant information to the public, free of charge."
