Hello (again)!
 
Hello to those I have not met before – I am Maria Provini and I am your Children’s Librarian here at CDPL!
Yes, you’ve seen me around the library before.  I’ve been working both upstairs in Adult Circulation and downstairs in Children’s for the past 7 years.  I am a mother of 2 high schoolers and a Bedminster resident.   I earned my Masters of Library Information Science (MLIS) from Syracuse University in 2018 and am very excited to be working here in Children’s once again!
Please stop by downstairs and let’s say “Hello” again!
