Hey! Call me Kris. I'm the Youth Services Librarian for the Bonney Lake and Buckley branches of Pierce County Library system in Washington state, so in the world of public libraries I do a little bit of everything...storytimes, school contacts, reference, teen programs, etc. etc. etc.

I've been working in libraries since 2002. I started as a page substitute, and worked my way through three library systems as a children's services paraprofessional, a student intern, and now a librarian. I got my M.L.I.S. from the University of Washington in 2007, after having received a B.A. in Political Science from Western Washington University in 2001.

I'm a member of ALSC and YALSA and am interested in getting involved more with ALA on a national level. I "stuck my head in" to the 2006 Annual Conference in New Orleans (was volunteering at a Girl Scout camp in Mississippi at the time) and at the 2007 Midwinter Meeting in Seattle, but the 2008 Annual Conference in Anaheim was my first "real" ALA. I was selected as one of the recipients for the Marshall Cavendish Award, and got to sit with other prizewinners at the Marshall Cavendish table during the Newbery/Caldecott banquet, where I saw Brian Selznick and Laura Amy Schlitz accept their awards. I have 2 gorgeous nephews in Denver, so I am looking forward to the fast-approaching conference for many reasons.

Outside the library, I like to write children's fiction, play with the dog, and travel the world. Some favorite trips: I spent most of 2003 in New Zealand on working holiday, and just had my first trip to Europe this fall, spending time in Wales with an old friend, as well as a few days in London.

See you all in Denver!
