Welcome to Simone's Creations: Everything Pocket. Simone is a certified public library librarian in Akron, Ohio. Since 2001, her passion and goal has been to help formerly incarcerated individuals live productive and meaningful lives. Simone achieves this goal by developing resources and projects inside and outside of her library. The resources are designed to give the returning citizens the knowledge and information to uplift their spirit, give them hope, and provide them encouragement for the betterment of their futures, families, and the community.

For her library, Simone developed the Reentry Job Search Resources booklet which includes employment, educational, medical, legal assistance and more. Simone also created and facilitates "Welcome Back Library Experience," which is a special library tour and database overview for the formerly incarcerated and those on community correction. In 2011, she published "Executive Clemency by Pardon: A Guide to Pardon Success," which helps readers discover the characteristics of pardon attainment. In her spare time, she meditates and discovers inner peace by creating pocket creations. A meditator for over 20 years, Simone has been a craft fair vendor since 2011. She lives with her two cats Ling Ling and Sushi.
