As a former KidSpace Associate and current Teen Services Associate at Gail Borden Public Library, I’m grateful to coordinate a variety of programs.

​

As the Volunteens coordinator, I served as the direct supervisor to a wonderful group of middle school volunteers.

​

As the Read to Rover coordinator, I supervised therapy dog volunteers. It’s a joy to witness a reluctant reader tell a story to Trucker - a therapy dog with his own fan letters.

​​

On the subject of letters, I piloted our library's Write to Rover program. Kids write letters to animal pen pals, such as Trucker the cardigan corgi, Carmello the bunny, and the library’s very own Rocket the turtle. My ball python, GG, loves writing letters back to the kids!

​

I love leading programs that foster literacy, such as Write to Rover, Read to Rover, and Writing Club. As the Writing Club coordinator, I’ve seen the program grow right alongside the kids. These young writers inspire me to grow in my own role as a storyteller.

​

As a storyteller, I've led Rainbow Family Storytimes for celebrating Pride Month, as well as storytimes celebrating Autistic Pride Day. Inclusive programming is a pivotal focus in my library career – be it book displays, readers’ advisory, or library programs.
