Buyer & Bookseller

Barb has been with Red Balloon since 1997, and has been a bookseller at many stores over the years. When not on the sales floor, she can be found in the loft where she works on daily ordering (which involves the juggling of umpteen special orders for customers and schools). Her hobbies are reading (of course), photography, cooking/baking (and the eating of the results), hiking, and haunting thrift stores.
