Spending time with children and families is one of the best parts of working at Kalamazoo Public Library! I started at KPL as a part-time Children’s Librarian and am now part of the Youth and Branch Services Department. This department serves everyone who uses the Branch Libraries, the Bookmobile, the Ready to Read program, and the Children’s Room and Teen Area at Central Library.
My undergraduate degree is from Indiana University and I earned a Master of Library and Information Studies from the University of Michigan. I also teach Literature for the Young Child at Western Michigan University.
