Amory

Senior Teen Librarian

HI! I’m Amory, and I’m the Senior Teen Librarian! I studied English and Education at Salem State University, worked as a Teaching Assistant for a few years before deciding to earn my Masters in Library Science at Simmons University. I collect Manga novels in my spare time, and love to listen to audiobooks and read graphic novels. My favorite genres are romance and fantasy! I am a new parent to the best baby boy, and also a dog mom to two great couch potatoes! If you need help with anything, books or otherwise, don’t be afraid to ask!

Neph

Hi! I’m Neph and I’m the Assistant Children’s/Teen Librarian! I have a degree in Animation from the Maryland Institute College of Art. I love reading indie comics and graphic novels. My favorite genres are slice-of-life and science fiction. Feel free to chat with me about books, movies, movies based on books, books based on movies, video games, comics, or anything else that’s on your mind. When I’m not reading I’m drawing!
