You are invited to join us Sunday for a reception honoring Skye Patrick, Library Journal’s 2019 Librarian of the Year. Skye graduated from NMU in 1996 with a bachelor of fine arts degree. She was appointed LA County Library Director on February 1, 2016.
Skye has made it her mission to break down barriers and increase access for all. As Director, she continues to reinforce the Library’s role in the community as a civic and cultural center, a hub for public information and services, and an institution of literacy, innovation, and lifelong learning. Under her leadership, local libraries are intentionally designing programs in systematic ways and Library staff is empowered to address issues with a more consistent and comprehensive approach.
The reception is open to everyone. Appetizers will be served.
Skye will also give a presentation, "Transcending Barriers: From NMU Alumna to 2019 Librarian of the Year," on Monday, September 23, at 11:00 am as part of the UNITED Conference. The UNITED Conference is free and open to the public.
