Brandi Ivester is a Collection Development Specialist at Booksource. She loves finding just the right books to make collections as complete and compelling as possible. Her favorite genres are science fiction, fantasy and nonfiction science. Brandi is currently pursuing an MA in Library and Information Science from the University of Missouri. Every summer she listens to the Watership Down audiobook while gardening to remember that nature connects all living things. This is followed by rereading Dandelion Wine (preferably in a hammock) to be reminded of the magic of the everyday.
