About My Library
My home library is small, since I do alot of borrowing. I am a librarian after all! If I own it, I've tagged it "home." I'm looking forward to networking with those whose reading interests are like mine. I like all kinds of books. Some of my favorites are: The Kite Runner, The Grapes of Wrath, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, and Miracle on the Andes.
About Me
I am a librarian for a public school district in Illinois. I've been doing this "gig" for 27 years, mostly at the elementary level. The past 7 years have brought me onto the junior high and high school scene. I have 2 libraries that I'm in charge of - one for a K-4 population, and the other for high school students. I see opposite ends of the reading spectrum this way. That part is cool, but driving between buildings (and towns), not so much. I enjoy stories of adventure, especially when the protagonist overcomes the odds. I also like mysteries, and good YA literature with strong, assertive characters. I like to laugh, so stories that tickle my funny bone are good too. I read fiction, primarily; but enjoy nonfiction too. Apart from reading, I'm interested in art, cats, and sometimes I like to cook! I'm married, and my husband likes it on those days when I like to cook. :)
