Please allow me to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the newly appointed Director of Library Services at Strathmore Municipal Library. I started working in this position on April 19, 2022, and I'm delighted by the warm welcome and support from the Board and staff. I'm confident that collectively we can deliver high quality programs and advocate for library services in Strathmore.
I have also had the opportunity to meet with a few stakeholders and partners in town and the Library will continue to partner with them to be a leading hub for information access in Strathmore.
Here are a few things to know about me; I enjoy reading non-fiction and news and watching movies (Tik Tok) in my spare time. I also write poems when exploring my creative side.
