35: Rachel Strolle on Teen Librarianship and YallFest
In this insightful episode, we sit down with Rachel Strolle, a dynamic teen librarian, programmer, and the communications director for YALLFest and YALLWest, two of the biggest young adult literary festivals in the U.S. Rachel shares her journey into the world of librarianship, where she not only organises engaging events with authors, but also talks about book curation, her inspiration that resonate with young readers but also develops engaging programs that inspire a love for reading and learning.
Rachel delves into her work behind the scenes at YALLFest and YALLWest, offering a glimpse into what it takes to coordinate communications for these major events, from collaborating with authors to engaging with fans. She discusses the importance of creating inclusive spaces in libraries and festivals that amplify diverse voices in YA literature, and how her role as a librarian intersects with her passion for promoting underrepresented stories.
Whether you're an aspiring librarian, a lover of YA fiction, or just curious about the world of literary festivals, this episode provides a fascinating look at the intersection of books, community, and advocacy
