Hi (waving) I’m Pam and I’m the Unconventional Librarian.

I  love books. Especially children and young adult books! I have a Master’s degree in Library and Information Science, but my specialty, if you will, is books for kids of all ages.

What makes my blog different from some others is that I look at books from a multicultural perspective.  Books need to represent our society: African American, Asian American,  Hispanic American, etc.  Books should also be considerate of those with special needs or sexual preferences. I feel that many popular books still ignore these populations. It is only natural that a reader should want to read a book about someone who is like them!

I have done many things in my life but the one thing that brings the most challenges and rewards is motherhood.  I have a son in college and a daughter in high school.  It seems like only yesterday they were toddlers. When did I get to be a grownup? Just like everyone else, I struggle with grocery shopping and getting dinner on the table when all I feel like doing is eating cereal.

I have two rescues: a bichon poodle mix named Bailey who I adore and a tabby named Cleo (short for Cleopatra Jones) who I suspect is secretly trying to attack me with her stealth  ninja ways.

Three things you will always find me with are: a cuppa coffee, a book, and my iPhone for tweeting, facebooking, etc. I love social media and I love to share and stay connected. I am an information specialist, after all.

As an educator and a librarian I am drawn to the little ones.  They are so funny, loving, and truthful.  Who else will tell you they love you and think you’re pretty and love the way you sing (off key)?

I collect children’s books and pretty dishes, I love to listen to music, I love thrifting, and I think being a little silly never hurts.

Let’s go on a journey with a book, shall we?
