About Me

Kris
Hi there! I’m Kris the retired librarian. I spent twenty years as librarian serving students in grades 7 through 12 at a rural high school in northeast PA. A few years after retiring from that job, I worked as an outreach librarian for my local public library. Now I’m back to being retired. When I retired, I really missed talking to students about books and reading. So I started this blog as a way to share books with other readers.
