About Me

My name is Melody Scagnelli-Townley and I am the Outreach Librarian at Bayonne Public Library. I'm a former American Library Association Emerging Leader, two-time former Over the Rainbow Book List selection committee member, and Alex Award selection committee member. At home, I'm a mom to my 2.5 year old toddler who teaches me new things every day, a partner to my husband who supports me in everything I do, and a loving caretaker to my two cats who mostly cause trouble. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, charcuterie board making, cocktail mixing, reading, and playing lots of video games.
