She’s recently relocated from the suburbs of Seattle to London, where she’s excited to join an international school as their lower school librarian in the fall. Passionate about connecting readers to books, she co-founded the OTTER Book Award for transitional readers in Washington State. Outside of the school library, she’s often found exploring her new city and reading stories with her family. She blogs at www.librarianarika.wordpress.com, shares literature & life on Instagram @ms.arika_, and tweets on a variety of subjects @librarianarika.
