Meet karen leeNEW Teen Coordinator

i have loved books and stories for as long as i can remember. As a teacher, i had the privilege of connecting students with books that excited, scared, puzzled, educated, and sometimes annoyed them. Books that made them think.

i am excited for the opportunity to explore the worlds of literature and culture with the Teen patrons of The Albert Wisner Public Library as well as continuing to work with our youngest population. i look forward to planning many entertaining, delicious, crafty, informative, and just plain fun activities.
