Jennie Agresta is the beloved librarian at Linder, where she fosters a lifelong love of reading and discovery in each and every student. With a Master’s degree in Library Science from the University of Maryland and a career that spans more than two decades in publishing, editing, and research, Jennie brings an unmatched depth of knowledge to the school library. She works closely with neurodiverse learners to help them find books that spark their curiosity, expand their thinking, and reflect their unique interests.

Before joining Linder in 2023, Jennie served as a reference librarian, writer, and editor, contributing to more than a hundred nonfiction titles for young readers for publishers including National Geographic Children’s Books and Scholastic. She believes every child deserves access to engaging stories and information—and makes personalized recommendations that help students feel seen and excited about reading.

Jennie is a member of the American Library Association (ALA) and the American Association of School Librarians (AASL). In her free time, she enjoys searching for books to add to the library’s collection and rereading old favorites, especially The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, and anything by E. L. Konigsburg (but especially The View From Saturday).
