Melissa Tremaine-Snip, Community Bookseller

Hi, I'm Melissa.

I'm a Registered Early Childhood Educator, a Ceritified Forest School Practitioner, a recently trained Doula, a Mom, a soon to be Grammie, and according to my daughter, "an eco-freak."

My 25+ year practice has been guided by several goals/hopes.

1. Fostering a love of and then a protection of the outdoors

2. Fostering a love of learning and literacy

3. Ensuring the children in my care could see themselves in the environment I created

4. Ensuring the children in my care realized that an adult besides their parents thought they were pretty special.

And then I came across Barefoot Books.  A book company that seemed and then proved to have the same goals as I did.  It was a natural fit for me to become a Community Bookseller and now I get to help others by providing  access to books that are not only affordable but have a purpose I believe in.

Thanks for joining us,

Happy reading!
