Shira is from the DC area and is currently a Youth Services Librarian at two public libraries in Southeastern Michigan. They are currently the Chair of both a Young Adult Library Services Association committee and a Graphic Novels and Comics Round Table collaborative committee with the Black Caucus of ALA. When Shira is not putting comics and queer books into the hands of excited children and teens, they can be found snuggling all the cats, playing drums in rock bands, or testing out recently-purchased board games. Shira also writes professional reviews for School Library Journal and AudioFile Magazine, plus not-so-professional reviews of Baby-Sitters Club books in exhaustive detail for their Goodreads profile (username Shiramario).
