More About Me

Couldn’t get enough of me?

Welcome!

Here’s my extra long super awesome really informative bio:

I am a Bear of Very Little Brain, and long words Bother me. ~Winnie the Pooh

I  love books; especially children and YA books.  I have a BS in English Writing, a post baccalaureate certificate in Elementary Education, and a Master’s degree in Library and Information Science.  I am a certified elementary teacher and a certified library media specialist.

What makes me an unconventional librarian? Well, I look at books from a multicultural perspective. Books need to represent our society: African American, Asian American,  Hispanic American, etc.  I feel that many popular books still ignore these populations.

An Unconventional Librarian is not only a curator of multicultural resources but I blog, I party, I  write, I model, and do basically anything that your traditional librarian doesn’t do; including work at a library.  I currently work in an independent book store! Being a librarian focuses on helping people find information.  We provide a service to our community.  My community happens to be the internet and the world.

Three things you will always find me with are: a cuppa coffee, a book, and my iPhone for using Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.  I love social media and I love to share and stay connected. I am an information specialist, maven, connector. Locally I connect with other smart social media minded women through Philly Social Media Moms and Girls Lunch Out.  

I am building a Harry Potter collection to enter the record books and I  think being a little silly never hurts.

Building pluralism one book at a time.

As of January 2013, my focus will be YA and children’s books.
