Robin Provancher:  

I graduated from Sac State in 1987 with a degree in Criminal Justice. I took a temporary job with the Sutter County Probation Department. When that ended, I moved to the Bay Area in 1988 and went to work for the Santa Clara County Probation Department. I got married to an amazing man in 1995. He's a firefighter, he does dishes, he makes me laugh, he's adorable and he lets me have control of the remote. Not too bad. I have two stepsons who are 25 and 26 and we have a beautiful and intelligent 19 year old daughter who is getting ready to begin her sophomore year in college. I resigned from the Probation Department in 1998 to be a stay-home mom, which was the best decision I've ever made. I went back to work part-time in 2004 as a Library Media Assistant and have been there ever since. It's such a fun job. I see almost 400 students each week, ages 5 - 10. I read to them, teach them how to use the library and get them excited about books. It's difficult to contend with technology, television and video games, but it's a challenge I absolutely love....Expand for more
