As the Youth Services Librarian I provide library services to young patrons (ages 0-18), as well as their parents and caregivers. I develop and execute programming for children and young adults, including storytime, book clubs, advisory groups, summer reading, and special events. I am also responsible for the collection development and maintenance of the children's, juvenile, and young adult collections. I've also introduced and maintain a Facebook account for the Austin Public Library.
