Of course I love to read, but I am also committed to showing every patron what the library has to offer him or her, whether that is a great book, a fun program, or a sense of community. I have the energy and passion required to sign up child after child for the Summer Reading Program and still convey excitement every time. I know both the rewards and the frustrations of working with the public, particularly children.  I am dedicated to being an enthusiastic and knowledgeable youth librarian.
