ABOUT ME

I'm Cathy MacKechnie, wife, mom and teacher-librarian at an est. 1922 neighbourhood high school in Ottawa, ON, Canada.  I am curious and love trying new things - blogging is a first for me.  I'm so happy to jump right in and give it a go.  I spend most of my days teaching in a library and then end every evening reading to my own children.  I am surrounded by books and all things literary.  I have had the most amazing conversations with my children and my students about great books and cool authors.  My current obsessions are: Kwame Alexander, Gene Luen Yang, Nicola Yoon, Drew Hayden Taylor and Jason Reynolds.  I guess diversity in books is something I am being drawn to right now- looking forward to another great year of getting lost and learning from books.
