President-Elect, Junia Ziblay (The Marin School)

jziblay@themarinschool.org

Junia credits her love of reading to being read to incessantly as a child. Her devotion to literature and fervor for learning have culminated in a deep desire to share her passion with the next generation. After studying abroad in England and receiving her BA with honors in English Literature, she returned to the U.S. and became a tutor and library assistant. She soon heeded her true calling and completed a Master's in Library and Information Sciences at San José State University. With a strong foundation of project management in fields as diverse as event organization, photography, technology conferences, and live theatre, Junia combined her tools and talents and became an Information Professional. After ten years of being a pre-K through 8th grade Librarian at Marin Primary & Middle School, supporting students with a variety of learning styles, it became evident that she was drawn to working with high school students. She joined The Marin School in 2018 and is grateful for the opportunity to support an exemplary faculty and staff as well as an extraordinary student body. She has been an active member and presenter at BAISL meetings and highly values being a part of such a vibrant community.
