Marijo's Escape This World, Enter Another! List

Meet Marijo: I have been with Phoenix Public Library for 24 years and have worked in seven branches as well as Burton Barr Central Library. My favorite thing to do is make memories with people. Road trips are an awesome way to make memories with people you know and love. To make memories with strangers, I go to Disneyland. There I can trade pins, ride rides and wave to strangers, and be part of memories of people who I have never seen before or will ever see again.

 

Meet her list: When life gets too frantic, I know I can escape into these books or movies. They each have something unique that sweeps me into the world of that time and place.
