Claire Parrish, Director at Large
What was your favorite
childhood book?
Picture book was and
still is Ferdinand by Munro Leaf. For chapter books it is the
Song of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce. I still re-read them about once a
year, and she has a new book coming out in February that I can't wait to read!
In what format do you
like to read? EBooks? Print? Graphic Novel? Audiobook?
Print is my go-to, but I
also love reading trashy romance novels on my iPhone. It is my goal this
year to read more graphic novels and non-fiction since those are the two I
often overlook. So let me know if you have any recommendations!
What do you like to do
in your free time to recharge?
Read. Curling up
with a blanket and cup of coffee is the best medicine for me. I also love
to cook, go on adventures outside, and travel.
What are you reading
right now?
I just started Mustaches
for Maddie, but I am also reading a historical fiction/werewolf romance because
that combination is AMAZING.
What is your biggest
goal for YSS in 2018?
My goal right now for YSS
is to enter this position as open-minded as I can, with big listening ears, so
that I can thoughtfully process what we are hearing from youth services
librarians around the state, and figure out how we can meet their needs. I am
really looking forward to the regional meet-ups and the chance to visit new
libraries, meet new people, and get inspired for all the work that lies ahead
of us.
Anything else you’d like
to share?
I'm incredibly thankful
and excited about serving as a Director at Large and I can't wait to get to
work!
