My name is Mary Peck and I'm the Librarian at NRE.  This is my 7th year with NRE,  and 6th year as Librarian,  I really love working with the kids and staff so they can get the most out of our Library!  

I have 2 kids, Lexi (21) and Brayden (18).  Lexi attends school at UNCO and Brayden will be attending CSU this year!  My husband and I love to spend time with our family hiking, playing games,  watching movies...and of course READING!  :)

I also have a niece that go to school here at NRE...do you know who she is??  She is in 6th grade!

I think reading is so important.   I loved reading to my kids for as long as they would let me...I still try to sneak a story or two in when we travel :)   "Reading books aloud to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world.  Even after children learn to read by themselves, I feel it's still important for you to read aloud together.
