I created videos 1-7 on this list, and helped to create Number 15 (Spanish translation of some of the other videos).

Number 15 was voiced by Andrea Barrantes, another librarian.

I started The Goodnight Flagstaff program at the library at the start of the pandemic.

I recruited the volunteers, processed the voice recordings into mp4 files, and created all visuals. We kept our readings on YouTube for the first two years, then moved to the Anchor Podcast App which we use now, in cooperation with The Literacy Center, because The Public Library did not want to continue to invest staff time in the project after I discontinued my employment there to work at The Arboretum at Flagstaff and start Montessori Forest Adventurers.

I work with a dedicated team of volunteer readers, including Jennifer Guyer, Tammy Rauschenberg, and Jill Valencia who started out as volunteer readers at The Library, and stayed on to form our admin team. They do almost all of the script writing, and reader organizing now, and help to post to Anchor! I still create visuals and help with posting, I occasionally write scripts and read chapters.

We have had over 200 people read for the program, including Lois Lowery herself, who read a chapter of The Giver for us! Local author and volunteer organizer, Jennifer Guyer, recruited her.
