Brenna Normann Brenna Normann joined the Tigard Library staff in 2015 as a cataloging librarian in the Technical Services division. Her main duties include cataloging new and donated books, DVDs, Blu-Rays and Books on CD. She also works at the Adult Reference Desk each week and fills in at other public service desks when needed. She also selects materials on computer science and religion for the Adult Non-fiction collection. 1. Why were you attracted to a career in libraries? I always wanted a career where I get to help people. I debated about becoming a teacher, but after a few years in college I decided librarianship was a better fit. I love being a resource for people, providing information that can help improve any aspect of their lives. The possibilities are endless! 2. How long have you worked at the Tigard Library? What are the biggest changes you've seen in both the library world in general and at Tigard specifically? I started working at the Tigard Library in 2015. 1 think one of the biggest changes I've seen during my eight years of working in libraries is how much their role has changed within the communities they serve. Libraries are constantly evolving to meet patrons where they're at. Many libraries now have social workers on staff and offer 5 of 6 7/15/2019,5:11 PM LibraryAware Content Preview https.//Iibraryaware.com/1664/Documents/DraftView/2467928 increasingly more diverse programming, as well as streaming media services, to name a few. We recently rejuvenated our collections by moving our Adult materials upstairs to create our new Teen Scene on the first floor, and also added new collections such as video games, wi-fi hotspots and more. It's an exciting time to work at the Tigard Library. 3. What part of the world would you like to travel to? Why? It is a dream of mine to get certified as an open water scuba diver and explore the world's oceans. I've been fascinated by marine life since I was a small child. The thought of exploring beneath the surface and getting up close and personal with the life down there exhilarates me. I'm hoping to get my certification this year and will begin scuba diving as soon as possible after that. I'd also love to visit Africa. I recently read that in Gabon it's possible to see elephants, gorillas and whales in the same day! . . . HAS MORE . Question or comments?
