Hi, Miss Julie

EDI, Leadership, & Storytime

About

Julie is a children’s librarian in the Chicagoland area. She likes science fiction, grilled cheese sandwiches, and walking with friends. Before starting work in libraries in 2006 (earning her MLIS in 2008), Julie spent six years teaching toddlers and preschoolers in the field of early childhood education.

This blog will focus on library services and materials for children and teens, with a special focus on storytime, ethics, leadership, EDI, and social justice.

Be my facebook friend!

While I am a children’s librarian, neither my blog or my twitter feed are really meant for children.

Do you think they’ll let us have grilled cheese sandwiches during our Cybils discussions? What a wonderful resource you’ve got here. I will have not seen some of the blogs in your blogroll, so I better be off …

Glad to meet you!

  Nice to meet you, too! I think chances are high that discussions of easy readers might just lend themselves to a mention of grilled cheese occasionally…I know I’ll be looking out for an opportunity!

Hi Julie!

I just wanted to write you real quick and say how much I enjoy your blog – the information, the tone, the whole shebang. It’s a really great spot on the web for me, a fellow youth services librarian, to explore the field a bit more and continue developing professionally.
