I look forward to working with library workers and advocates across every type of library in the United States and internationally. We can support, inspire, and learn from each other as we seek to improve the excellent library services that we provide for our communities. We will also continue to advocate for and celebrate the power of libraries to transform lives.

Thinking about IMLS staff and the important work they do to support libraries and, in doing so, our communities.

Call your Congresspersons in support of the IMLS!

While attending the ARL President’s Institute event in Chicago, I had the opportunity to tour the Northtown Branch of the Chicago Public Library. Thank you to Commissioner Chris Brown and Branch Manager Jason Nosek for welcoming me to your beautiful library!
