About Ann

I’ve been a librarian for over 30 years and worked in bookstores for eleven years. I’ve have been a bookie all my life. I’d hate to have to chose my favorite books, but if I were forced to pick just one it would be Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. I am an omnivorous reader and disgustingly adaptable in regards to my reading tastes. I like all kinds of books and am resigned to a life where there are “so many books and so little time.” You may also have noticed a fondness for bad puns, it is also genetic and not my fault.

I am a member of the American Library Association – PLA, RUSA/CODES and YALSA divisions, chair of The Reading List Council and a past member of the CODES Reader’s Advisory Committee. I’m past chair of YALSA’s Alex Awards committee and was chair of the YALSA Task Force to develop criteria for a First Novel Award (Morris Award). I served on the 2010 Printz Award Committee. I’m also a member of the Virginia Library Association. I was born in Williamsburg, VA, went to college in New Mexico and library school in South Carolina. I’ve also lived in: Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, and Ohio.
