Dr. Betsy Diamant-Cohen has been a children's librarian for more than 25 years, and has worked in public libraries, school libraries, academic libraries, non-profit libraries, children's museums, preschools, home-daycares and more. She has three children (who are now all adults!), a wonderful husband, and lots of stuffed animals.
