While researching for her first book, “The Diary of Olga Romanov”, Helen visited Russia several times, and as part of the library school academic curriculum worked in the “Rare Book Fund” at the Museum at Tsarskoe Selo, which holds the imperial book collection, including that of Catherine the Great and the last Tsar Nicholas II.
For ten years she worked at the Free Library of Philadelphia, during which time she also became a published author. After a relatively short career in research science Helen decided to switch gears and return to grad school to fulfill a dream of becoming a librarian.
Helen Azar grew up in a Russian speaking household and as a child used to compile paragraphs from children’s books and magazines for fun.
