about

Hi! My name is April. I live and work in the Chicago area, but I am originally from Michigan. I currently work at a library in the north suburbs of Chicago and focus on all things storytime, toddlers, and preschool/childcare outreach. I love it!

I can honestly say there is nothing I'd rather be doing than serving little ones and their families. Mr. Rogers, who I will always look to as a mentor, sums up my feelings quite well:

I'll never forget the sense of wholeness I felt when I finally realized what in fact I really was: not just a writer or a language buff or a student of human development or a telecommunicator, but... I was someone who could use every talent that had ever been given to me in the service of children and their families.
