About me
Elizabeth (Liz) Atack works at Nashville Public Library (NPL), where she oversees Bringing Books to Life (BBTL), a literacy outreach program. In addition to managing the daily and long range operations, she is on the front lines of helping kids learn (and love!) to read, juggling story times, trainings for teachers and adult education providers, and reading workshops for parents. Under her leadership, BBTL has won local and national awards and, in 2014, she was named the Toyota Family Teacher of the Year by the National Center for Families Learning. Before coming to NPL, Liz was a teacher and museum educator. She graduated from Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, and possesses a master's degree in Childhood Museum Education from Bank Street College of Education in New York City.
