Abstract

After finishing graduate school, I was fortunate to begin my career in the youth services department of a public library in northwestern Wisconsin. Since then, I have made it a goal to work towards creating the best storytimes I could by becoming an early literacy specialist.

With this goal in mind, I continuously research early literacy, child development, and Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR) practices and work to implement them in my storytimes.
