Meet the Librarians

Mr. Steve & Miss Diane

Mr. Steve is the Senior Youth Services Librarian. He has worked at the Bellingham Library since 2011. He works with kids from 0-12 years old and their families. Among the favorite parts of his job are being silly, helping kids find books that they will love, and watching his story time kids grow up to be readers.

Mr. Steve's favorite books include The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, Rules, The War that Saved My Life, Out of Left Field, The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl, and every Elephant & Piggie book ever written. Some of his favorite picture book authors are Greg Pizzoli, Jon Klassen, Kate Beaton, Bob Shea, Jan Thomas, Mac Barnett, and Ross Burach.

For fun, Mr. Steve loves traveling, sports, hiking, road trips, and visiting National Parks. Email Mr. Steve.

Miss Diane started working at the library in August of 2017. She helps develop and run a successful after school program for middle school-aged children (during non-pandemic times). She also moderates a Mother/Daughter Book Club that meets once a month to discuss middle school-appropriate books.

Miss Diane works at the front desk when she is not with the children, but her favorite part of the library is getting to know the kids and their parents during the course of a school year and watching the kids grow and learn from year to year.

Her favorite books for children include Trumpet of the Swan and The War that Saved My Life. Email Miss Diane.
