Hi there!  My name is Tricia and I’m the new Teen Services Librarian here at the Chelmsford Public Library.  I cannot begin to describe how excited I am to be a librarian (especially one who works with teens) and to be working in a library like CPL.  I work for you, so please, feel free to approach me whenever you have a question, need help, or just want to chat.

As a slightly more interesting way to introduce myself I’ve decided to share the following Top 5 lists:

My Favorite Teen Titles:

• Dairy Queen by Catherine Gilbert Murdock Y/Fic/Murdock
• The Long Walk by Stephen King PB/A/King
• The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd Y/HS/KIDD
• Born Confused by Tanuja Desai Hidier Y/Fic/Desai Hidier
• Fray by Joss Whedon Y/Comix/Whed

How I Spend My Weekends:

• Baking pies (I’ve finally mastered my own pie crust)
• Learning how to knit something other than a scarf
• Running (albeit very slowly)
• Playing Scrabble
• Watching movies (lots and lots of movies)

My Favorite Places to Read:

• On the train
• In the reading rooms of old libraries
• On the beach
• Curled up on my couch
• At the laundromat

Feel free to leave your own Top 5 lists in the comments!
