WHO ' S THAT? Ning Wang Adult Services Librarian Ning Wang has worked at the library for more than 15 years. He is one of the friendly faces at the adult reference desk who will help you get the information you need. He also selects books for the library on many topics, including medical science, technology and gardening. Ning grew up in China in the Jilin Province in northeast China between Russia and North Korea. He has lived in the United States for 30 years. He received his library degree at Dominic College in River Forest, IL. _......._..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 1.Why did you choose to become a librarian? I grew up in a time that most of the books were banned during the -� cultural revolution in China. Getting a good book to read became � i such an endeavor that required social networking by knowing someone who secretly kept books. Reading books brought me light and hope during that dark period. When I had a chance to go to library school in this country, I knew that was my calling. I can work with books and promote reading all day. 4 2. How do libraries in China differ from ones in the United I ` States? One major difference is the scope of services. Our libraries, > especially public libraries, are community-oriented. We not only provide books to readers, but also serve as a community center for families to learn, have fun and satisfy all kinds of information needs. On the other hand, public libraries in China are large in scale and well equipped with technologies. However, they are still focused on the traditional functions of libraries: providing a space for reading and lending collections. They lack programming and other social community services. 3.What do you like most about working at the Tigard Library? http://www.libraryaware.com/1664/NewsletterlssuesNiewlssue/09de40ca-5797-40bf-bca9-58c403 86Oe8c?... 5/9/2019 LibraryAware March 2019 Page 6 of 6 1 enjoy the working environment at the library, especially the staff.
