Name: Jordyn Smith
Library Position: Young Adult Services Librarian
Where will we most likely see you in the library? You can find me in the Teen Room doing crafts, creating book displays, and having book discussions!
What do you do at the library? I curate the young adult book collection, run programs for teens such as crafts and book clubs, and work with young adult pages and volunteers.
What hobbies do you enjoy outside of your work at the library? I love to do crafts, both at work and at home, and my favorites are cross stitching and crocheting!
What's a favorite place you've visited?
My favorite place I’ve ever visited was Ireland. My family is from there, and I had always wanted to visit. Exploring the cities and the countryside and learning more about my heritage was the opportunity of a lifetime!
