Who’s behind it?

My name is Whitney and I’m interested in library youth services. I received my MLIS from UCLA in 2008 and I currently work as an intern in a K-8 school, but I hope to work with teens in the future. I read a lot of YA lit and try to stay involved in youth librarianship as much as possible by participating in the online YA community and in YALSA activities.
