My blogs

Industry	Museums or Libraries
Occupation	Youth Services Librarian
Location	Grinnell, Iowa, United States
Introduction	I am a Louisiana girl who spent several childhood years in Southern California and now love living in the Midwest. I have a Masters of Library and Information Science and am currently working on my license to become a teacher-librarian. Sometimes I still harbor fantasies of being a famous researcher and finding a never before discovered manuscript by Jane Austen. In the past 6 years, children's and young adult literature has replaced classic literary reading. Too bad the stereotype about librarians spending all day reading is untrue...
Interests	Reading, knitting, costume dramas and training my Labradoodle to be a reading dog.
Favorite Movies	I love costume dramas, and anything on Masterpiece. Movies or television that has rocked my world lately have been Saving Mr. Banks and Vikings.
Favorite Music	My music taste is eclectic, my all time fav is Nat King Cole and the Disney songs station on Pandora.
Favorite Books	To Kill a Mockingbird, North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
