Lindsey Lindsey was born in Colorado, but has moved around a lot with her family. She loves the great outdoors, and enjoys gardening, hiking and kayaking during the summers. Lindsey and her family love animals, and have always had a pet or two around the house. Lindsey just a got a new Blue Heeler puppy named Hiro that she is trying to train. He wakes her up early quite often and is ready and raring to go. She wouldn’t really have it any other way. She also has a cockatiel, two parakeets, a hamster, and another dog named Hayden. Caring for animals is one of her favorite things in life. Lindsey loves to read (of course!) and just finished reading Harry Potter! She has become quite a fan, and loves it almost as she loves Star Wars (although not quite). She has collected many Star Wars items and is still on the hunt for new items for her collection. She especially loves anything to do with BB-8! Lindsey has worked in libraries for four years and has loved working with the patrons and the books! She loves to do anything creative in her job. She often can be found doing things with cork, pipe cleaners, and pine cones. She loves it all. She also helps out with the craft classes at the library. She is amazed she gets paid to do things that are so much fun!
