Just your local, easily excitable children's librarian here! I am but a simple bookworm created by Kate DiCamillo, sustained by Emily Henry and a medley of horror writers, with an inner dialogue narrated by Julia Whelan. When I'm not at the library, you can catch me at the movies, practicing yoga or on my couch binge-watching a sitcom from the mid-aughts.
