Handpicked by Meghan May 2020 Hello, I am the Adult Programming Librarian at River Forest Public Library. My favorite hobbies include reading, travel, spending time with family, and going to see musicals. My reading tastes are all over the map, but the genres I tend to enjoy most often include nonfiction (especially Irish or American history), psychological thrillers, humor, memoirs, and fantasy.
