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. |

In addition to reviewing teen fiction and professional literature for "Voice of Youth Advocates," Ms. Vaughan has served on the editorial board of "Evidence Based Library and Information Practice." Find her book blog at www.foolforbooks.blogspot.com. She is a member of the American Library Association, and the Young Adult Library Services Association. She has presented at several conferences including California Association of Independent Schools, the Internet Librarian and the Harker Teacher Institute. When she's not reading, Lauri enjoys listening to audio books, watching basketball, scrapbooking and playing with her puppy. |

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. |
