JCPL Teens

Meet Briana, the new teen librarian at Evergreen: 

Favorite teen book: I love anything by John Green, and I also love dystopian books – M.T. Anderson’s Feed and (of course) The Hunger Games. My favorite teen(ish) read from the last year was Jo Ann Beard’s In Zanesville.

Favorite TV shows: I love Mad Men, True Blood, and The Amazing Race. I’m also going through Downton Abbey withdrawal right now.

Favorite movies: My movie tastes are all over the board - some of my all-time favorites are Pride and Prejudice, Dear Frankie, An Education, Fargo, and Goodfellas.

Favorite music: Mumford & Sons, Florence & the Machine, Adele

Favorite sport to watch: football – but only if I’m watching with someone who can explain what I’m seeing.

Favorite sport to do: hiking, yoga, bowling (bowling is a sport, right?)

Favorite food to make: I love to bake and I make pretty good soups and stews.

Favorite food: I used to work at a German restaurant, and it left me with an affinity for bratwurst, potato pancakes, and apple strudel.

Places I have lived: I’ve lived in Colorado all my life – I’m a fourth-generation native

Places I have traveled: Iceland, Italy, Austria, France, Ireland and the UK

Where I want to go next: I’d travel almost anywhere – preferably somewhere warm!

Pets: A 10-month-old lab mix named Aspen
