Meet Mrs. Jennifer Perry

 

I am very excited to be teaching in Bloomington since I have lived in the area most of my life. I attended Edgewood schools and then earned an undergraduate degree in Psychology from IU. After nine years as a full-time mother, I returned to IU to study library science and education. I graduated with my Masters in Library Science and School Media certification in 2006. I have worked as a volunteer and substitute librarian in many MCCSC schools.

I love to travel with my husband, Bill, and my son, Liam. We have visited Ireland, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Hawaii, and many fun places in the continental U.S. Rounding out our family is a mixed breed hound dog named Roger.

I enjoy baking bread and desserts to share with friends. I love to eat ethnic food (Turkish is my current favorite). I like to knit and listen to music by people who write the words and play the instruments.

My favorite books are often about history and historical fiction, but I also enjoy fantasy and science fiction, including TV shows like Dr. Who, Firefly, and the X-Files and books by Neil Gaiman and Madeleine L'Engle. I love good characters and relationships more than action, but I think the best stories have both. Stop by the library and tell me about your favorite books!
