When not librarian-ing, you can find Mrs. Powers reading historical fiction, horror, science fiction, or self help books. (Although a techie, she loves the feel of an old-fashioned physical page-turner.) Mrs. Powers also blogs and consumes way too much dark chocolate. She can be reached at 714-999-2438 or powers_r@auhsd.us.
