Introduction	Hi everyone! My name is Denise Jukniewicz (phonetically it's pronounced like YOOK-NEV-ICH) and I earned my B.A. degree from Rutgers University in Newark, NJ and my M.L.S. degree from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. I have been a Professional Librarian for over 18 years, and have been honored to spend the last 9 and 1/2 years here at the Mahwah Public Library as the Teen Librarian. I truly enjoy working with our teens and "tweens" because I never stop learning from them as well.
Interests	Reading, Traveling, music, baseball (watching the NY Mets), and cooking.
Favorite Movies	"Ratatouille" because that "little chef" inspired me to learn how to make the dish; "WALL-E" and "Up" are pretty fun to watch as well. But my favorite Disney movie and chararcter is Stitch from "Lilo & Stitch."
Favorite Music	Alternative, Alternative Rock, Oldies, songs from "Musicals."
Favorite Books	The "Ranger's Apprentice" series, The "Hunger Games" trilogy, the "Maximum Ride" series, the "H.I.V.E." series, the "Percy Jackson & the Olympians" series, the "Heroes of Olympus" series, the the "Harry Potter" series, and the "Mortal Instruments" series just to name a few. Of course my favorite manga series are "Fullmetal Alchemist, " "Black Butler, " "Durarara!!!"(Shizuo Heiwajima rocks but don't make him angry), "Bleach" (Captain Hitsugaya rules!), and "Soul Eater" (I'm Black Star!)!
