Today we meet our Fantasy and Sci-Fi category organizer, Tasha Saecker:
I am the director of the Elisha D. Smith Public Library in
Menasha, Wisconsin. Which, by the way, just won Wisconsin Library of the
Year for 2008! When I started in librarianship, I was a children’s
and teen librarian in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. From there, I returned to
my home state of Wisconsin and was library director at a small library in Green
Lake for 11 years. I have been at Menasha for 2 years now.
I started blogging with a non-kids lit blog over 5 years
ago. It’s called Sites and Soundbytes and is still active. About 6 months after starting that blog, I
started Kids Lit, which just celebrated its
five-year blogversary. Both blogs originally ran on Greymatter, but now
run on Moveable Type.
Kids Lit covers books and book news from picture books
through teen novels. One of my favorite genres has always been fantasy
and science fiction, so I look forward to again working on this category.
