Heather Schubert

Creating a “safe environment for learning and enrichment, a place where teens have a voice” is the basis for Heather Schubert’s middle school library. Hosting in-school events such as Wimpy Kid Day and a Hunger Games party besides creating and running the Austin Teen Book Festival are just a couple of initiatives she provides for students at Hill Country Middle School and the community. She also volunteers at a local juvenile detention facility promoting reading activities for young men who weren’t readers and are now reading several books a month.
