Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
While my academic training at Cornell University was in the field of Slavic languages and
literature,' wandered far astray after a year of doctoral research in the Soviet Union. I became a
lobbyist for arts in education,which morphed into being the advocate for New Jersey Media
Association, working to improve political support for libraries in every school. From there, I
stepped into the public library world. In Plainsboro, NJ, which has a wildly diverse population, I
guided the library through rapid cultural revolutions, and in the space of 20 years, built two
libraries, moving from 1400 square feet, to 14,000 square feet to 48,000 square feet. Numbers
are not everything. I bring real world experience gained throughout the growth in services,
holdings and finance. More than that, as a recent article trumpeted: libraries are in my blood!
Since supporting myself in college by working in and eventually running a branch of the
university library system, I have been dazzled by the potential of libraries as the only public
institution entrusted with cradle to grave education. We are informal education at its finest. For
example: With the nation facing a critical shortage of scientists, and science education lagging
in school curricula, we launched a Science Center that boasted everything from science story
hours for wee children, to robotics classes utilizing corporate volunteer techies, to community
wide science competitions that engaged adults, teens and tots. With the advent of digital
education, we brought a nifty array on online services to our public--be they adult investors, or
10

kids needing help/tutoring with their homework. At the core of it all, education is our supreme
goal!
