I'm the lucky librarian who gets to choose all the library's kids, teen and audiovisual materials. That means I read reviews for a living and my "to read" list is never-ending! When I'm not reading kids books, I dive into culinary cozies and thrillers. I'm a runner who loves to bake, and I'm a Disney kid at heart.
