I've been Eddystone Elementary School's library paraprofessional since October 1979. I love reading and hope to instill that same joy in the children who come to our library. Some of my favorite authors are J.K. Rowling, Lemony Snicket, Dr. Seuss, Roald Dahl, and Beatrix Potter. If you'd like to learn more about them and the other great authors we have in our library, visit my valuable links section below.

When I'm not in the library, I like to volunteer my time at various school and community events. Eddystone Elementary holds nighttime story hours for the younger, preschool-aged children in town. You can always find me at our school's dances, bingo nights and various other monthly occasions. I really enjoy the way our special events help to bring the community closer together!

When I'm not reading books, I'm surfing the Web learning more about them. In this section, you'll find links to great book-related (and other helpful) sites.
