Jennifer has been the Middle School librarian at LREI since 2000. Besides being a self-described book addict and enthusiastic sixth grade advisor, she teaches library and research skills in collaboration with classroom teachers and grade level teams. Her passion for reading carries over into her life outside of LREI, where she writes book reviews for several professional journals, maintains a popular book review website for teens that has been online since 1998, and teaches a young adult literature class every spring at Pratt Institute. In addition, Jennifer has served on several national youth book award committees through the American Library Association. She is also the author of Reading Rants: A Guide to Books that Rock! published by Neal-Schuman. When not reading or writing, Jennifer enjoys quilting, social networking, and eating out in New York City's amazing restaurants.
