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.

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.
