Outreach Work at Begins at Library

Hillsboro, OR- After several years with the Library as a children's librarian, my mother has been transferred to a new department, CEO or "Community Engagement and Outreach." The CEO specializes in bringing library activities to parks, schools, preschools, and retirement homes. In short, library activities outside the library.
"It was not my choice, but I am loving it now." She said in an interview with the Kramer Paper, "I am excited about what I'm doing... everybody in our department is." The CEO has offices in the  upstairs area separated from the rest of the library. From here, they plan outreach programs, and have lunches to build community among department members. These programs involve story times and activities in parks and school lunch programs over the summer, and future trivia nights at retirement homes.
Mom's new job also includes the title of 'Student Success Librarian.' This will involve going to after school programs and preschools after school starts and lead programs at these establishments. Hillsboro School District will add preschools this coming year, and CEO will be working with students and staff in library outreach after they open.
"Her new office space is more festive," Young Mr. Kramer said, "Everyone there seems to love what they're doing!"
