I WHO ' S THAT? Laurie Calvert Laurie, a senior circulation library assistant, is a lifelong library lover. Her first two experiences were with libraries the size of closets. Although her family have didn't have many books when she young,when she met her first Bookmobile, as she says, "WOW! It was a new kind of love all over again—a library about the size of a large closet, except this time on wheels."And her passion for libraries has never wavered. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 1. Then what happened? My professional start in libraries began when we moved to Oregon in 1990. 1 decided to make my dream come true and turn my love of libraries into a career. I enrolled in the PCC Library Media p Assistant program, was hired at an elementary school library and j worked there 10 years. After a six-year stint in the private sector, I ._,s _ . wanted to return to work in a library and was hired at Tigard Public r= ' Library almost 10 years ago. 2.What is the most important role of the Library in the Tigard community? I think the most important role of the Library is that we provide a safe and friendly gathering place for ALL members of the community to access information, attend programs and study. 3.What are three things you like working here? http://www.libraryaware.com/1664/NewsletterlssuesNiewlssue/9e3 ebe 11-8078-4bf6-93c4-84b9934b96e3?... 5/9/2019 L•ibraryAware April 2019 Page 6 of 6 • The staff and volunteers, who I think of as my second family— my TPL family. We truly care about each other and that makes it a harmonious and fun place to work. • The patrons. I love to engage them in conversation and listen to what they have to say. I feel joy seeing the love of books in the eyes of our youngest patrons. • It brings me joy to hear from our patrons how much they love our library! I have daily access to a never-ending source of reading and listening material. How cool is that? LAURIE REA04NG? Question or comments?
