Hello, my name is Jennifer and I'm a librarian

Hello world!

So, first things first: who am I?  My name is Jennifer and I'm a Youth Services librarian in a fairly large library somewhere in the Southwest.  What do I do, you ask?  I answer questions in different areas of the library, such as the Youth room, Teen room, and the regular Information desk.  I do programs for kids of all ages, from the tiny ones to the teenagers.  Some of my other duties include maintaining and updating a Parenting collection at my branch to help parents of young children find books in all different topics for parenting.  Recently, I have also helped with an outreach program called Family Read Aloud Nights where we have been going to Title I schools in my area and promoting the services of the library.  It's a great program because not only do we get to share books with families, but we were able to get funds to give each child a free book.

Now, what's the purpose of this blog?  Well, I hope to review books that I read here as well as share good picture books for story times, ideas for programs, and my experiences as a budding librarian!
