About Me

I'm the manager of the Children's Department at the New Albany-Floyd County Public Library in New Albany, IN. I got my MLS from Indiana University in 2006 and then worked as a children's librarian in a Chicagoland library before moving back to my hometown. I live across the river from New Albany in Louisville, KY, where I grew up. I love being a librarian and I love taking on the challenges that come with being a new manager. On this blog you'll find library programs, book reviews, details of what a children's librarian does all day, and my thoughts about librarianship and anything book- or library-related.
