April Balasa
Patron Services Clerk
April has worked for Orland Park Public Library for 4 years. You can usually find her at the Welcome Kiosk or the checkout desk.
April has many favorite books.
“My list of favorites is extremely long, so I will just name a few,” said April “Favorite book would have to be The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Favorite movies just to name a few: King Arthur, Blood and Chocolate, Merchant of Venice and Confessions of a Shopaholic. My favorite T.V. show is Hannibal, and my favorite anime/manga is Black Bulter.”
When April isn’t helping library patrons check out books, she can be found painting, drawing, and writing.
Her favorite space in the library is The Backyard.
