About Me

Where you'll see me in the library: At the Help Desk, on the Bookmobile, and answering the library's phone.  You might also see me changing or refilling library displays, which is one of my favorite parts of my job!

What do you like to read?My favorite books have humor, fantasy, and/or offbeat insights about life. I enjoy a book with “a comic formality of thought and speech,” as Gail Honeyman described her narrator's voice in Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, also employed by writers like P. G. Wodehouse and Lemony Snicket.

What memory do you have of your hometown or school library?In 3rd grade, I won my class's bookmark design contest with a drawing of a stack of books and the phrase "Read all kinds of books!"  I stand behind that sentiment to this day.

What are your hobbies?I like to dabble in most kinds of arts & crafts (painting, weaving, woodworking, sewing, carving, pottery, etc.) and am often inspired by the library books that pass through my hands to try something new. I am just a beginner at the ukulele, but that doesn't stop me from heartily singing or whistling along to rock and pop songs when (hopefully) nobody can hear me.

Share a surprising fact about you.I've done National Novel Writing Month a couple of times, with atrocious results and a newfound respect for all writers.
