About Miss Rosie

Welcome to Miss Rosie Reads!  I'm so happy to have you here and can't wait to help you feel seen and appreciated.

My name is Miss Rosie and my background is Colombian/American. I am first generation, which means my family immigrated to the United States. I was born in Chicago, Il. My first language is Spanish and I strive to give my library community authentic and diverse programs, especially Spanish.

Books have been my universe since I was very little. Books helped me learn English, my librarian at my branch was my super hero, and the world was mine to explore! I worked for 16 years at an Indie Children's Bookstore in Oak Park called Magic Tree Bookstore and that is where I discovered my calling as a librarian. I have an LTA., Library Technical Assistant Certification, and I have been a Youth Services librarian since 2013. 

My specialty is early childhood, multicultural programs, and I am Cultural Literacy Specialist. I was also an Outreach librarian for 7 years. It was the best time. I visited preschools and Daycares in the area and local businesses and brought Storytime (Spanish, English, and bilingual) into the community. 

I have been a regular reviewer for American Library Association Booklist Magazine for 8 years. You can check out my reviews for Children's Fiction and Non-Fiction books, and Spanish Language Books for all ages.
