What are you looking forward to the most in your future at Lambertville Free Public Library?
I’m really excited to be working with a community that loves their library! I’m looking forward to finding ways we can safely bring the community together in ways that nourish our desire for connection and entertainment while promoting literacy. Look out for programs and events like virtual bouncy book time, StoryWalks, Dungeons & Dragons, and art workshops!
Why do you love public libraries?
Information and knowledge are power, and public libraries make sure that everyone has access to these basic human rights. A good public library also acts as a communal gathering place, where all are welcome.
What are you currently reading?
I just finished reading The Night Diary by Veera Hiranandani, which is a touching historical fiction book about a young girl and her family who flee from Pakistan to the new India right after Indian independence and the start of the partition. My partner is from India, so it was interesting to learn more about the history of his culture while enjoying a Newberry Honor book.
Let me know what I should read next!
What are some of your favorite books?
Harry Potter, the Mirror Visitor series by Christelle Dabos, anything illustrated by Brendan Wenzel, and anything written by Katherine Applegate, Octavia Butler, or Ursula K. Le Guin.
What’s an interesting fact about you?
I’ve hiked the entire Appalachian Trail!

What are you looking forward to the most in your future at Lambertville Free Public Library?
I dream of connecting a thriving, diverse, and informational community. We all are thinkers and makers in our own rites and sharing that together is my greatest goal in our literacy environment. Look out for book clubs, fireside stories, and meetings of the mind from different backgrounds through creative classes/lectures of varying topics.

It is the golden goose of a town. The freedom to learn without restraint is such an amazing privilege and I hope we can remind everyone of that across our path at LFPL.

I am reading Troy by Stephen Fry for our upcoming Book Split Book Club meetings. Historical Fiction, Biography, Mindfulness, and Fantasy are my top favorite subjects at the moment. I also enjoy the lightness and frivolity of Korean Manhua (Web Comics).

Jane Eyre, Anne of Green Gables (anything by L.M. Montgomery), Life of the Beloved, and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society. Some favorite authors are Jane Austen, Henri Nouwen, Brene Brown, and Tara Brach.
