Tamara Richman

Tamara Richman has been a Youth Services Librarian for 10 years and currently works at the Mary Jacobs Library in Rocky Hill, part of the Somerset County Library System. She works primarily with children ages birth through 5th grade, leading storytimes, book clubs and preschool outreach, and just couldn't resist working on teen programs for the Hunger Games and Lightning Thief series.

Tamara has presented within the Somerset County Library System, at the NJ Youth Services Forum and the New Jersey Head Start Conference on a variety of subjects, including Using Non-Fiction With Preschoolers, Fantasy Readers Advisory and Ready Reference for Kids and Teens in the Digital Age. Tamara has two sons, both of whom are extremely reluctant readers, so reader's advisory is a way of life for her!
