About me
I'm the Teen Librarian at the Main Library of the Aurora Public Library System. In the winter of 2010 a teenager got to dye my hair purple & black personally for winning the winter reading challenge. I have an active TAB (Teen Advisory Board) of 10 teens that are mostly in high school. They get so involved that they create their own programs at least once a year.
