Sarah Yale is a Youth and Family Outreach Librarian at Oak Park Public Library. She possess expertise in youth development, teaching, curriculum development, program development, community outreach and 23 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "Sarah was a detail-oriented, passionate teacher. She invested hours of time each day into her lesson plans for her students and it paid off. She facilitated remodeling and the repainting of her local school. She was a great influence and she is a wonderful role model for adults and children alike." and "Sarah spent a summer with our family taking care of our two children. Not only did she have my daughter counting to 10 and identifying shapes within a week, she had earned both their adoration and respect by the end of the day. That is a priceless skill that can neither be taught nor learned, and Sarah has it. Sarah is not only professional, courteous and punctual, she is a joy to be around. As I took a step forward in my career, I knew that my children were being taken care of, being educated and having fun. That is a peace of mind that was priceless for me, as I’m sure it would be for any parent whose child is in a classroom. Just like my children, all of Sarah’s future students will be better for having had her in their lives. I would highly recommend her for any position working with children."
