Laura Hernandez Rochte is the librarian at Mount Vernon Middle School in Mount Vernon Ohio. She graduated from Ohio University in 2002 with her Bachelor’s in PK-12 Instrumental Music Education and received her PK-12 Masters in Library Information Science degree in 2007 from Kent State University. This is her seventh year as a librarian with her initial three years teaching 7^th grade General Music in Jefferson Jr. High in Toledo, Ohio. She started Tattered Pages Book Club six years ago. The club started small with 8-12 members and now has 45-50 members which probably has something to do with the Harry Potter trip she organized.
