I’ve been an elementary school librarian since 2005 and started 100 Scope Notes in the golden days of 2007. In addition to posting children’s literature reviews here, I also periodically straighten my tie and review for School Library Journal. I’ve also been a judge for the Cybils Awards. I live in Michigan and am a member of the American Library Association.
