Learn a little more about our authors

Andrea: Andrea is a youth services librarian at the Everett Public Library and has been presenting storytimes for the very young and working with the collection for the last 10 years. She is fueled by her passion for working with people, especially children. She is an advocate for fostering the love of reading and lifelong learning as well as making connections with those in her community.

Carol: Carol likes to read for fun. Her reading material tends to be fluffy, funny, and/or frivolous. If she were stranded on an island with only one author’s books she would take Dave Barry. Lately she’s doing that thing she said she’d never do: reading teen fiction! Authors like Libba Bray, Lauren Morrill, and Gail Carriger keep her coming back for more. She obsessively records what she reads and what she wants to read on GoodReads.

Elizabeth

Feylin: Feylin is a perpetual kid at heart.  She is a Barbie fanatic as well as a hardcore Steven Universe fan. If you asked her what her favorite book was, she couldn’t tell you. There are simply too many.

Heartwood: Heartwood is the project of a librarian who is interested in spotlighting older books, international authors, and small press offerings. For more information, including how the feature gets its name, see the first post, Introducing Heartwood.

Jennifer: Jennifer is an avid journal keeper and would rather be reading than doing most anything else. Her favorite author is Stephen King.

Joyce

Linaea: “Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.” Linaea took Groucho Marx’s quip to heart at a young age and hasn’t looked back.

Linda: Linda is one of our original bloggers with her recurring “Did You Know” installments. She enjoys trivia and sharing information. She has been with the library since 1996 and looks forward to blogging for quite a while more.

Lisa: Lisa is a Northwest Historian at the Everett Public Library. When she’s not digging into local history, she likes to escape into other worlds and other time periods by reading a lot of scifi, fantasy, and historical fiction. That being said, she has a real soft spot for non-fiction as well, so you might see her posting a lot about science, history, culture, and any other random subjects that strike her fancy. To find out what she is reading, check out her GoodReads feed.
