Kim Banks holds a B.A. in English from Cal State Fullerton and a master’s degree in library and information science from San Jose State University. She began working for OC Public Libraries in 2007 at the La Habra branch, and is now a librarian at the Brea branch, providing services for both children and teens. However, her love for books goes far beyond the children’s and teen departments, and during her time off Kim can be found curled up with a cozy mystery whenever possible.  This is Kim’s first year helping with Literary Orange, and she is excited to be a part of this literary event.

She is moderating the Cozy Mysteries: Murder Comes Softly panel during Session 3.
