Caroline Macfarlane Email & Phone Number

I have worked as a children's librarian in a public library setting for nearly six years. I am heavily involved in collection development for my library's juvenile collections, in planning and executing after school programs for children ages 5-12, planning large-scale library programs for children ages 3-12 and their families, and library reference skills especially reader's advisory. I am also involved in my department's hiring and training processes and am a trainer for new librarians. Currently, I am working towards a Master of Science in Library and Information Sciences through the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.My professional interests include visual literacy story times, the reception of comic books and graphic novels, and the legacy and future of children's literature.
