Staff Member of the Week! ~*Kelsey*~

Kelsey is a bookseller who’s been at Borders Capitola for a little over a year and is Aimee’s dark apprentice. She’s the go-to person for young adult since she has read almost every book in the section. She’s a firm believer in letting your creativity flow, which happens all the time with her co-workers as they think of new ways to display things and make the most of frustrating computers. Kelsey’s also a huge fan of the Giants, everything related to tennis, and all things geeky including Battlestar Galactica, Glee, musicals, and a bunch of other things that she currently is not able to think of because of ingesting too much Mountain Dew. Her top five books include, but are not limited to: Poison Study, The Hunger Games, Vampire Academy, The Black Jewels Trilogy, aaaannnd... The Summoning.

Staff Member of the Week! ~*Jax*~

Jax is a manager who has been at Capitola almost 4 years. She is the resident “good cop” and does her best to ensure that everyone remains happy and healthy. She is also the reason we, or indeed everyone in California, can’t have nice things. She loves books, faerie tales (the darker the better), cats and fuzzy things in general. She is also a huge sucker for a happy ending and books that make you think. Favorite books include, but are not limited to: Book of Lost Things by John Connolly, A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeline L’Engle, and Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer.
