Hello. My name is Brandy Walthall. I began my library career in an academic library in Texas. I received my MLS from the University of North Texas in 2021.

Finding ways to nurture creative expression, peer support, and healthy fun in social settings are my top priorities in Teen Services.

I started working at the Sussex County Library System about 10 years ago and have worked in many different departments. I started in circulation, worked in Youth Services and am now the head of the IT/Systems Department.

Hi! My name is Kate-Lynn Brown and I am one of the Teen Services Librarians at the Piscataway Public Library. I order graphic novels and manage some of our digital collections, including eBooks for teens and services such as Hoopla and Kanopy.

I started my library journey in 2020, by contacting local librarians and workers on their experiences.

My name is Melody Scagnelli-Townley and I am the Library Director at Bayonne Public Library. Before becoming the Director, I spent seven months as the Interim Director. Before that, I was the Outreach Librarian for 3.5 years.

I've been a senior administrator at large public libraries for the past 15 years, and I love helping other library works maximize their strengths in order to provide the best possible service that we can for our communities.

I am an Adult Services librarian at Piscataway Public Library. I started my library career as a circulation clerk at an academic library.   Later, while serving as a library assisant, I began studying for my MLIS at Rutgers University.

I've been a librarian for 25+ years, and have worked in a variety of libraries and jobs.
