About
Sarah has been working in libraries since 1999. She began as a children’s story time presenter for Sno-Isle Libraries and went on to become the branch manager of their Brier Library for seven years and a collection development librarian specializing in materials for teens and graphic novels. For two years Sarah was the teacher librarian at Meany Middle School in the Seattle Public Schools where she worked closely with the Reading and Writing Project curriculum from Teachers College. She serves as the volunteer librarian at Spruce Street School, a Pre-K through 5th grade school in downtown Seattle. She was selected for the 2009 Class of Emerging Leaders in the American Library Association and remains an active member of various professional organizations.
Sarah is currently pursuing a PhD in Learning Sciences through the College of Education at the University of Washington. The overarching question for her research is: In light of sociocultural-historical experience, what does an adolescent learn emotionally, socially, and culturally from the stories in which he/she engages? She pursues this question through cross-national and cross-cultural qualitative research. With this goal in mind, she completed the Fellowship for Global Understanding program at Southwest University in Chongqing, China in May, 2011. Sarah earned a Masters of Library and Information Science degree and a Bachelors of Arts degree in Drama from the University of Washington. She also completed a post-baccalaureate program in Elementary Education through Western Washington University. Sarah lives in Seattle with her husband and two sons.
