Joseph Jeffery

Joseph (he/him) is a lifelong reader and library user, at one time so prolific that other kids at school called him "lord of the library," as that's where he could be found every day. Joseph is the district learning commons teacher librarian for School District 57, a proud member of the BC Teacher Librarian Association, and the current chair of Canadian School Libraries. Joseph came to Prince George as a student at UNBC, from which he has graduated twice (once in Computer Science and again in Education), during which he borrowed a lot of manga, graphic novels and fantasy books from PGPL. As a teacher librarian he has helped students sign up for PGPL library cards, bought students down for field trips, and met often with the youth librarians. Joseph has also been teacher-librarian to two fellow board members' kids over the years. If you want to talk about nerdy, big fantasy books, he has probably read them.
