Nancy Pearl

Since the release of the best-selling Book Lust in 2003 and the Librarian Action Figure modeled in her likeness, Nancy Pearl has become a rock star among readers and the tastemaker people turn to when deciding what to read next.

Having worked as a librarian and bookseller in Detroit (she’s a U of M grad!), Tulsa, and Seattle, Nancy's knowledge of and love for books is unmatched. The former Executive Director of the Washington Center for the Book, Pearl celebrates the written word by speaking at bookstores and libraries across the country and is a regular commentator about books on National Public Radio's Morning Edition.
