I am so pleased to be welcomed to the Ridgefield Library and
the Ridgefield community!
I received a BA in English and Education at Worcester State
College (MA) and earned my MA in Children’s Literature and MS in Library &
Information Sciences from Simmons College in Boston. I’ve worked in various
Massachusetts libraries-from the Bibliothèque at the Alliance française to the
Boston Arts Academy to the Westfield Athenaeum-though most recently, I was a
Children’s Librarian at the Fairfield Public Library (CT) for four years.
I love to laugh and be silly, talk about books, recommend
books, review books and read books with children. I am a proud Gryffindor who
loves playing board games, listening to audiobooks, and critiquing picture
books. I cannot live without coffee. Or cheese.
I also have 2 cats, 2 dogs (Hermione & Houdini, Mercedes
& Lana) and a well-trained husband named Matt. I am a Steampunk who loves
to dress up and consequently own more petticoats than actual coats.
My favorite book right now is Ben Clanton’s “Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea.” Stop by
the Children’s Library to say “hi” and talk about your favorite
children’s book!
I’m the one with the purple hair.
