Staff Selections: Lani
Last Updated on Thursday, 18 April 2013 10:29
This month's "Staff Selections" guest columnist is Lani, who has worked as a shelver at the Norman Public Library since 2008. Lani was born and raised in Norman and as a little girl spent many of her days wandering through the stacks of books at the library.
"I read a bunch of American Girl stories, the Girls To The Rescue series and Nancy Drew Mysteries growing up," she says. "Today, I’ll read just about anything. Most of the time it is a book’s cover that catches my attention and entices me to read the book. My favorites are fairy tales, myths & legends; I enjoy reading many of the retellings available. Beastly by Alex Flinn is a good example."
