Our [staff bios](/novelist/about/staff) give you a sense of our reading passions, but they don’t give you the full picture of their commitment to the library profession. NoveList librarians are active members of the library profession, participating at every level from serving on ALA committees to volunteering at libraries. Wondering what that means? Here is a sampling of what our librarians are up to outside of their regular NoveList work: - 9 serve on book award committees - 9 have presented at conferences - 6 review for professional journals - 3 have published articles - 3 guest teach MLS classes - 2 have been awarded the Romance Writers of America Librarian of the Year award - 2 serve on ALA committees - 1 has been elected to ALA office Our librarians are active in the profession for the same reasons you and your colleagues are — because public libraries and reading change lives. Like you, we think it's important to be a part of this life-changing work. [Meet the people of NoveList](https://live-ebsco-www.pantheonsite.io/novelist/about/staff) ![novelist about danielle borasky quote web image ](/sites/default/files/acquiadam-assets/novelist-about-danielle-borasky-quote-web-image-780.jpg) "Books are a secret weapon in our struggle to answer big problems. Because reading books is how we learn new information, but also, they are how we learn to become better human beings. The stories found in books can open our eyes to new ways of thinking, give us a better understanding of other people, help us become more compassionate and understanding, and inspire us to think of new ways of solving problems." — *Danielle Borasky, Vice President, NoveList* ![novelist about danielle borasky quote web image ](/sites/default/files/acquiadam-assets/novelist-about-danielle-borasky-quote-web-image-780.jpg) ![novelist about over story image ](/sites/default/files/acquiadam-assets/novelist-about-over-story-image-780.jpg) ## You Talk, We Listen We take your feedback very seriously.
