Many of us are not thrilled about approaching the doorstep of winter, but this time of year affords a unique perspective to our lives. I remember playing football in my backyard at the edge of a Pennsylvania forest and stopping, as the sun had almost set, to peer into the gathering shadows of the woods. I wondered if I just saw something move in the tree-filled murk. While there would obviously be nothing there (or was there?), my curiosity has always been piqued by tales of the unknown, the undiscovered, the untold or the unseen.

I'm a Youth Services Librarian and I love what I do. Getting kids excited about reading in all its forms is a terrific part of my job.
