Rachael Boyd is our new Children's Services Librarian. She studied acting and traveled all around the United States performing in theatre, television, and film. After college, she began working in the Shreve Memorial Library system while pursuing a career in acting. Some of her hobbies include writing, making films, watching classic films, and volunteering at their local animal shelter. Rachael loves telling stories, going on imagination-adventures with her friends, and loves reading all kinds of fantastical books, especially for Storytime! “I want to create programming that’s not only fun, but can facilitate learning and growing within ourselves and in service of others around us.”
2022-23 Kentucky Bluegrass Award Master Lists PreK-2
These books are from the 22-23 Preschool through 2nd grade lists. Full Master Lists here: https://www.kasl.us/bluegrass-award/kba-winners-circle
Each year, a KBA committee for each grade band chooses ten books that will be featured on each Master List (Preschool, K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12) through a year-long process that requires many volunteer hours. These committees include school librarians, public librarians, academic librarians and classroom teachers from across the state and represent both public and private schools. Master List committees are chaired by KASL members who report to the KBA Coordinator and the KASL Board.
