Kiera Parrott began her library career at NYPL before joining the innovative Darien Library (CT) in 2008. She spends her days picking books for storytimes, playing with new technology, sweeping up spilt glitter, uniting kids with great books, learning silly new fingerplays, reading, booktalking, cleaning up more glitter, weeding crusty old books, ordering shiny new books, making book lists, planning programs, doing class visits, trying to get that stuff (what is it? glitter glue??) off the chairs, chatting with kids, parents, and caregivers, and trying to fight off the encroaching crazy with good humor and deep-breathing. She can be found online at http://libraryvoice.org or on Twitter @libraryvoice. The latest project that her library has been working on is circulating pre-loaded Early Literacy iPad Kits to children and their grownups. |
