Bowen Library is pleased to welcome our newest staff member, Kelly Woods.
Kelly has joined our team in the part-time role of Children and Youth Services Coordinator on a grant funded two-year contract. Kelly is a Bowen resident with over 12 years of experience as a librarian working in Lower Mainland public libraries.
Kelly began her career as a children’s librarian and is excited to return to children and youth services here at Bowen Library.
As a public librarian Kelly’s background includes program delivery, community engagement, budget oversight, collection development and team supervision. Kelly will be reaching out to community organizations supporting children, youth and families, and will be front and centre at the Library helping patrons at the desk and supporting programming for children and youth.
Having Kelly here means we can continue to run Babytime through until the end of May, and both Storytime and Babytime will run during Spring Break as well, for any families looking for a fun, early literacy-focused activity to do with their little ones (see dates for both on our Community Calendar at bipl.ca/cal)
We look forward to working with Kelly to expand and improve services for children and youth over the next two years and hopefully beyond.
