Vice-President, Joyce Roby (Phillips Brooks School) president@baisl.org Joyce Roby has been an educator and librarian for more years than she dares tell—much of it at Head-Royce School in Oakland. In the fall of 2007 she will move to the Phillips Brooks School in Menlo Park to be the librarian for their pre K-5 program. She loves finding books that students grab from her hands, reading to anyone who will listen, and putting web pages together for her faculty. In her leisure world Joyce lusts for lazy days with good books, delighting in beautiful gardens, and listening to what fabrics tell her to sew. She is incredibly proud to be a part of BAISL, knowing that in a few short years it has grown from a handful of plucky, forward-thinking librarians to an organization of well over 100 members. BAISL rocks! |

Vice-President, Billie King (Archbishop Mitty High School) president@baisl.org Billie King's 15 years of librarianship has been divided between Saint Andrew's School in Saratoga for six years and Archbishop Mitty High School for the past nine years. She is proud to have finished her MLIS from San Jose State University in 2001 after 5 long years of night classes! She lives in Los Gatos with her husband, two old cats, and one very large fish - but that's another story. She has two grown daughters who live in San Francsico and Los Angeles. Not in order of passion, she is a hiker, a walker, a rider of bicycles, a gardener, a reader, a writer, a traveler, worker, a friend. |

Treasurer, Marilyn Kimura (Nueva) treasurer@baisl.org Marilyn has been with the Nueva School since 1985 and librarian since 2002. Her official library motto for both children and adults is “We are a community of readers,” but “Don’t worry, be happy!” is her personal mantra. Kids, books, nature, art, travel are all means to that end. |
