PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
I have experience as a librarian and a librarian assistant senior for almost 5 years in a
Public library setting. I have also worked as a long-term substitute for two school
libraries for almost an entire school year. I am dedicated to providing excellent materials
for children while also trying to inspire the love of reading onto these young ones. I also
have an extensive knowledge of materials for children, birth through teens. I am
currently making pamphlets for struggling readers to find a book similar to one of the
few books they loved. I have also showcased the library’s material through well-thought
out story-times and toddler times.
