Storyteller Born at Library
As a child, I lived in a neighborhood where there were no other children, so I had no playmates, that is until I discovered the library and its myriad books. I read every biograpy and classic I could find. Then, I discovered Andrew Lang's rainbow fairytale books and read them from cover to cover. I told the stories to whoever would listen. Thus was born a storyteller. I began telling in our local library. Later, as a teacher, I told in my classes. Now, I tell professionally full-time.

Teachers Praise INSPIRE
I am especially happy with INSPIRE when I need information to help teachers who are taking classes. They really praise INSPIRE and me. Also, the Biography Resource Center on INSPIRE has been especially helpful this semester when I have had several classes using the resource for famous African Americans and famous mathematicians. I show them how to use INSPIRE in the library and they are told they can also use it in the computer lab or at home! Recently, I have informed teachers in a private school in Indiana of this resource.
