IT OUT GET TO KNOW YOUR TEEN STAFF

What are some hobbies/ activities you enjoy outside of work?

I’m sure no one will be surprised when I say that my main hobby is reading... However, I also enjoy watching movies, playing with my dog, crocheting and playing cozy video games.

How long have you been working at the Schaumburg Library?

I have worked at the Schaumburg Library in the Teen Department for the past 5 years.

What is your favorite material to recommend?

Since I love recommending ALL THE THINGS, I had a hard time answering this question, but I narrowed it down to three titles:

The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas

A fun LGBTQ+ fantasy that I describe as Percy Jackson meets The Hunger Games.

Danger and Other Unknown Risks by Ryan North and Erica Henderson

A unique fantasy graphic novel featuring an adorable fluffy dog.

Agent Most Wanted by Sonia Purnell

Before reading this, I had never heard of Virginia Hall, a WWII spy that helped the allies win the war.

What is a unique fact about yourself?

I used to play the viola! So, if you are ever in Teen Place and hear orchestra music playing, I probably picked out the music for the day!

What is a service within the Library that you want more teens to know about?

TEEN LIBRARY BOXES! I could chat about these all day. If you are a big reader and want a personalized reading recommendation every month along with some freebies (candy, bookmarks, pens, etc.) to keep, get yourself signed up for our TEEN BOOK BOXES! You can register at schaumburglibrary.org/library-boxes.
