Meet your Librarian, Mrs. Leslie Rains

I am happy to be joining the Leawood Community as the Digital Teacher Librarian! I have been an Educator for 20 years and a Teacher Librarian for 7 years, teaching in Arkansas, South Korea, and Colorado. I love reading (print AND audiobooks), traveling, researching, comedy shows, live music, drinking mochas, and listening to podcasts. I lived in South Korea with my family for 8 years and loved getting to travel all over Asia and the South Pacific! I am a native of San Diego, CA and the beach is one of my favorite places to be. My husband and I have a daughter in 7th grade, a son in 4th grade, and we've loved living in Colorado since 2016. My kids and I started trying to visit all of the U.S. National Parks in 2020 and so far we have made it to 11. Stop by the library to say hi and find a book, or come see me if you need any help with technology.
