A lifelong reader, some of Stephanie’s most vivid memories from her childhood are centered around books including volunteering in her middle school library, curling up with a great book on a rainy day, trying not to run into walls while walking with a book in front of her face, and sharing books with her best friends at recess. Having worked in libraries since high school, Stephanie is surrounded by 7-12th grade students, teaching across curriculums and modeling a love of reading as a teacher-librarian at a busy middle/high school in New Hampshire. When not reading or at work, Stephanie loves spending time with her husband, 13-year-old daughter, and cat doing a variety of activities or just hanging out on her screened-in porch. Stephanie is thrilled to be back for participating in CYBILS for the ninth year, serving as both Nonfiction Category Chair and CYBILS President.
