"I have a love for youth literature and sharing it with students. My favorite aspect of my role in the K-8 schools was working with reluctant readers and helping them find their gateway book and watching them grow into eager readers, " said Jenny.

"I am so excited to be a part of Appalachian State and I am so proud to be in the field of access to information for all."
