My husband and I moved to Virginia Beach from Texas in 2004. I taught special education preschool and kindergarten before coming to CBA. In Summer 2008, I will receive my Master’s of Library Science degree from Radford University.

Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts, is my favorite book and author. I LOVE to read, attend open houses (to check out the décor) and I want to learn how to crochet and play the piano.

My goal is to have each and every student and staff member at CBA checking out books and materials for your own reading pleasure, academic, and professional needs as well as enabling you, the student, to become a well equipped researcher while promoting a lifelong love of reading!

Please feel free to contact me at 757.497.6200, Ext. 208 or email channah@cba-va.org. I look forward to seeing you in the Library Media Center!

HAPPY READING!!!!
