About Me

The Library Fairy® is a magical mascot of stories and books and a legend of lore near a century old. Wherever you find books, you might catch a lucky glimpse of her flying through shelves, dancing in pages, sleeping on sentences and igniting the love of reading in many young lives.
She recently came out of hiding to share her love of stories from around the world for today's children. She captivates by performing tales in the lively folklore tradition, enchanting her audience with narration, interactive games, music and theatrical improvisation using an array of props, humor and song. Meeting the needs of a diverse population, she also uses American Sign Language (ASL) and Spanish at times to tell her many delightful tales. Story theater is a highlight of the show as excited child volunteers help act out the some of the stories to the joy of the audience!

The Library Fairy® is bringing the distinctive art of storytelling to life on a national level for a whole new generation of story listeners. This includes bringing TLF to the small screen, providing children an unprecedented access to multicultural folklore while enhancing this art to directly promote their literacy, diversity and self-esteem. She has already completed a pilot presentation intended for development with a broadcast, cable or public television outlet, attracting the partnership of a prominent production company who has produced for PBS, General Mills, NBC, ABC, and Kids’ WB!
