Meet Lynette, Downers Grove Public Library Bookologist

The library is highlighting one bookologist at a time. This July, meet Lynette.

Bookology... it's the science of good books, making Downers Grove Public Library staff experts in the field, or bookologists.

Lynette enjoys reading about young adults (of course!), magical realism, art history, artists' lives, and meditation. She enjoys working with students on a daily basis and providing teens with resources to fuel their own creativity.

"I am most drawn to books with a focus on art, yoga, and the magic found in our everyday world," she says.

When not working, Lynette spends her time painting, practicing yoga, and taking long walks with her two adorable dogs Farrah and Bernie.

Lynette's summertime favorites are on display in the first-floor lobby. Come take a look!
