Once I learned that I could make people laugh, I knew that's what I would spend my life doing.

Halloween 2022

I love Riverdale, so this Halloween I decided to dress up as Cheryl Blossom. I couldn't decide on just one costume though, so I had two. 😊

Rebecca Douglass So glad you're enjoying the Ninja Librarian! He's modeled (in a very loose and mostly totally imaginary way) after the former head librarian at the branch where I work, though I can't imagine the real Tom knocking any heads together!
