Team Books for Kids

Our team members have always come to us from a variety of backgrounds and with a diverse set of skills. They each bring their life experiences to their work and into the library. Books for Kids Library Specialists are highly-trained, paid staff members who make stories come alive for kids, support teachers and parents, and ensure that the library stays a well-maintained, valuable resource for the community.

 Feel free to get in touch! We're always happy to chat about who we are, what we do, and how you can get involved. Click our team members' profile photos to learn more.
