Meet Samantha!

Have you seen our bonus Skylarkian in the shop? Samantha joins us for the summer via the CARE program. We have been fortunate to have four different students work with us through this fabulous program over the years. It is such a joy to have Samantha in the shop learning the ropes and learning from her. She has been tackling all sorts of projects. Our favorite so far is the Banned Book Washi Tape you will find throughout the shop! This is something we have been wanting to get off the ground for a while now. Samantha vanished into the backroom and within a week had a spreadsheet up and running, then before we knew it, she was almost through an entire roll of tape! If you don't know about this project, check our social media or come ask at the counter. For her last week with us later in August, you might find her working the register and free from all of the data entry and organization. Please say hi if you do, she is pretty gosh darn amazing and we are lucky to have her around! You can also check out her shelf talkers in Dark Purple as you browse. She has GREAT taste.

Samantha (she/her) was raised in Columbia, Missouri and currently attends Rock Bridge High School. Her idea of a perfect night involves a comfy bed, a thunderstorm, and a new book. She loves watching movies, crocheting, hanging out with friends and family, and, of course, reading. Her favorite genres of books are mystery, dystopian, and psychological thrillers.
