Meet the Speakers

Carrie Watson is the Library Operations Manager at Englewood Public Library, just south of Denver, Colorado, where she works with curious, resourceful folk who seek to make the library the heart of the community. She does her best reading at 5 a.m. before everyone in her noisy household wakes up to disturb her peace and start asking for mundane things like breakfast and attention.

Lauren Campbell is a Senior Readers' Advisory Librarian at NoveList where she helps create products and services aimed at readers. Lauren worked in public libraries for 13 years, mostly in children’s services, before joining the NoveList team in 2021. Storytimes will always hold a special place in her heart. When she's not at work, she enjoys hanging out and hiking with her family, starting crochet projects, and refinishing old furniture.

Caleigh Haworth is a Product Engagement Specialist for NoveList who works with libraries across the U.S. and Canada. With nearly 20 years of experience in public libraries, she enjoys helping library staff feel confident using NoveList products through practical demonstrations, thoughtful guidance, and easy-to-use resources. When she’s not working with libraries, Caleigh can usually be found reading character-driven mysteries and thrillers.
