Jone has been involved with the CYBILS since 2006. She’s currently the chairperson of the poetry category. Poetry is part of her everyday life especially in the K5 library where she teaches.
Her students’ poems have appeared at “Check It Out” These students also send poetry postcards to recipients throughout the world for National Poetry Month. Last year, Jone embarked on an new adventure in poetry through hosting Poetry Rocks: Performance Poetry. Her students learned how to perform poems out loud.
