More about Mychal Threets
Mychal Threets is a librarian and literacy ambassador who grew up in libraries as a homeschool kid. Mychal loves stories! He enjoys learning something new every day, and that includes learning why people love their local library. He utilizes social media to share the stories of library kids and library grownups that he encounters in library land. He is very open about his mental health and talks about it in hopes that it’ll help others in their mental health journey. He is adamant about encouraging people to believe him when he says he’s happy they are here. When not in libraries, he is often with his troublesome cats, Machine Gun Kitty and Kissin’ Kat Barlow.
This event is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Friends of the Oak Park Public Library.
