Sarah Cournoyer, Chair
What was your
favorite childhood book?
The
one that comes to mind right now is the Wizard of Oz, but there were many more!
I generally read one to two books a day back then. My favorite series was the
Hardy Boys because they were intrepid, intelligent, and solved mysteries.
In what format do
you like to read? EBooks? Print? Graphic Novel? Audiobook?
I
like print books, but have really gained an appreciation for eBooks in terms of
convenience, carrying weight (only 8.54 oz no matter how many pages!), and
being able to read them on multiple devices.
What do you like
to do in your free time to recharge?
Free
time is scarce, but I like to make time for knitting, cooking, yoga, and family
and friends. A few of my favorite ways to recharge are being outside, taking
road trips, and watching the clouds pass by or the wind move in the trees.
What are you
reading right now?
I'm
about 63% of the way through Ms. Bixby's Last Day according to my Kindle. What
a fabulous and profound coming of age story! It's full of moments and quotes
that resonate with me.
What is your
biggest goal for YSS in 2018?
I
feel it is imperative to continue providing value to our membership through
resources like the YSS Powerhouse Presents series of webinars, regional
meet-ups, leadership opportunities, and professional development, while
enticing new members to join and to attend conferences.
My
biggest goal is to be accessible, approachable, flexible, and adaptable in how,
why and what YSS does in order to benefit our members, our organization, and
the youth and families in our state.
Anything else
you’d like to share?
Being
a librarian has got to be the best career in the world! Every day brings
something new and there’s never any time to get bored. I urge you to join me in
spreading the word about our awesome and necessary profession to kids and teens
that are contemplating what to be when they grow up. We need diverse library
staff.
