As we reflect on the joys and challenges of 2023 and move forward into a new year brimming with promise, I am so inspired by the work of our Library Social Work Fellows. Each of the students featured below has been passionately dedicated to serving our communities this year. Throughout the county, at libraries big and small, these students are meeting our patrons where they are, providing crucial resources and referrals, hands-on assistance, compassion, and hope. Read on to learn more about them and what they’re working on in our region.
