The Library Board and city council have approved the hiring of Dreama Deskins as our new IT & Circulation Support Librarian. As you know, Dreama has been helping catalog materials and maintain information technology systems here at JPL for several years. Her experience (here and in a wide variety of other library settings) developing technology plans and optimizing workflows, providing instruction on a range of topics, and leading a variety of other kinds of initiatives will be a great asset to the Johnston Public Library in the years to come. Dreama will need several weeks to wind-down her consulting work for other area libraries so she won’t begin work until sometime in March. She’s asked that staff be discreet about this news until next Monday -by then she’ll have notified her clients of her intentions. Please let me know if you have any questions.
