 The 21st Century Library is really focused on community, so we want to bring people in, show them all the wonderful events and opportunities that they can join in on, get them connected with groups and resources, and then if they choose to check out a book too, that's wonderful. I am in charge of the Marketing Division for the Kern County Library. I focus on all of our media and advertising, so that includes our website, our social media, creating awareness that the library is still here, that it's still awesome and it's offering lots of new, amazing things. I am particularly proud of the Lunch at the Library program. A lot of times when families are reliant upon school lunches during the year, when school ends there becomes a gap in their nutritional needs. So Lunch at the Library aims to feed children over the summer, but also to feed their minds as well. So getting connected with resources, getting signed up for the summer reading challenge. So as you can see, our families are enjoying a hot meal from one of our local school districts. They bring it in fresh for them to enjoy. It is every single weekday that we're open during the summer at our branches. It's incredibly popular. Last year we had 7 locations and this year we had 14. We serve approximately 8,000 meals. I would not eat them anywhere. We have guest readers that include judges, heads of county departments that come in, read to the children, get them involved, encourage them to check out books. I never thought I would get a job with my marketing background doing marketing for a library and I'm very happy to say I have my dream job. I just got my master's in library science from San Jose State University. I really enjoyed the flexibility at San Jose State. I was working full-time as well as participating in my courses full-time and I also have a preschooler. So having flexibility but also having the support at the same time was very important to me and I found that there at the high school. I actually felt that I had the most support in this program that I've ever had before which honestly surprised me because it was an online program. I felt support from the very beginning from the first introductory course that we're required to take all the way through. I think that my degree absolutely helps my position. I had several courses that were in marketing and I learned lots of techniques that other libraries are doing through a lot of interactive opportunities with my classmates. In a traditional sense we think of a librarian being somebody who hushes people up and keeps the doors closed on the very sacred books but realistically I think a librarian or an information professional is somebody who helps anybody that needs help. So whether that be coming in and needing help with a resume or getting connected with a book or simply attending an event and finding a new friend or even a hot meal. In that way we're absolutely world changing.
