About me Molly O’Brien is a school librarian in Atlanta, Georgia. She has also been a middle school language arts teacher, an editor, a writer, a freelance journalist, the manager of a children’s bookstore, and a public librarian (one summer when she was twelve). She received BA’s in English and Fine Arts from the University of Colorado in Boulder and an MA in Library Media from Georgia State University. Molly has lectured on such topics as writing profiles of community members, reading strategies, and writing poetry across the curriculum at several Georgia Council of Teachers of English annual conferences. She also recently presented at the 38th Annual Georgia Children’s Literature Conference at the University of Georgia on the topic of “Chick Lit for Tweens”. More recently Molly was invited to lecture on the same topic at the December 2007 Georgia Public Library Children’s Council Teen Conference in Macon, Georgia. Molly grew up on the Maine coast and is very excited about sharing her passion for this area through the medium of children’s books.
