Lalitha is a youth services & community college librarian living in Southern California with her husband and their two boys. She decided to start a blog, Masala Reader, which would contribute to ongoing dialogue about multicultural literature for children and young adults.
Lalitha is a strong advocate of professional development, and tries to stay active in ALA by serving on committees such as YALSA’s Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers and ALA Feminist Task Force’s Amelia Bloomer Project. We are so thankful that she found some spare time to answer our On the Shelf questions. This librarian/mommy blogger has pizazz!
