About MeI have wanted to be a librarian for as long as I can remember. When I was little, the library was my special place. I entered "read-a-thons" that I won. I read everything I could get my hands on--including the ancient Childcraft Library and encyclopedia set that sat moldering in our living room.
While I cherish the years I spent teaching English, I feel I have the best job ever as a librarian. I love kids. I love books. I love sharing books with kids. It's a win win. |
