Roberto's Picks

Roberto's PicksMeet Roberto:  My name is Roberto Juarez, but I go by the nickname Berto. I am seventeen, and plan on going to ASU for Music Theory. I enjoy eating food, reading new books, meeting new friends, playing and composing music, and doing my share of volunteering including at the public library when I can. I have volunteered at Harmon Library for two summers and I enjoyed each session with the amazing staff and our great fun! I encourage other teenagers out there who love their library and want to give a helping hand to volunteer at the library; it's fun, it's great, and it's really worthwhile.

 

Meet his list: My list is simply a list of the things I read or listen to when I'm not busy with school or volunteering. My favored genres of books are mainly in fiction, preferably adventure, action, fantasy, and mystery books. For music, I love to explore all the hidden portions of the musical world, whether it's Korean Pop music or even music in Spanish to the Top 40 on the radio. If it's good, you can bet that I'm listening to it! I usually enjoy these books and CDs and others just like them when I'm out around Phoenix or even at school to the comfort of my own home, and I'm proud to say that I find myself browsing the public library for their amazing and extensive collection. I hope you enjoy this list and that you find all the wonders that I haven't yet found.
