As the new year starts for the Children’s Services Division, we want to send a huge thank you to Susan Cackler for leading the Division this past year.  She planned and prepared the Fall Workshop on Slow Librarianship and the Spring Workshop on the Power of Play.  She supported and led the volunteer teams that presented the Mock Caldecott workshop and Lampman Award.  We appreciate Susan’s organization, willingness to lead, decisiveness, and creativity over the past year.  Thank you for your service and thank you for continuing to serve as Past Chair this year.

​Emily West and Tara Morissette will lead the CSD team for 2022-23

Emily West and Tara Morissette are excited to lead CSD for 2022-23.  Emily West began her literacy career in Tennessee. She was hired to work within one of the first family literacy organizations in the state. Later, she worked for the Center of Literacy Studies at the University of Tennessee as a curriculum developer for adult education. Emily then was hired by the National Institute for Literacy where she helped to reform and improve adult, and family literacy standards.  Emily has been a long time advocate and practitioner of the Baldrige Continuous Improvement Framework and received her Malcolm Baldrige Regional Examiner certification in April of 2022.

Emily serves as the Early Literacy Specialist at her favorite place, the North Plains Public Library.   Emily is excited to serve as your CSD co-chair with Tara. Her primary goal as CSD co-chair is to assist the board and its members in engaging and meaningful collaborations that inspire children's library workers to continue their good work throughout the state of Oregon. 
​
Tara Morissette is a library assistant in Circulation at the Tigard Public Library.  She loves helping people, be it library patrons, fellow employees or volunteers. She looks forward to serving our library community, connecting with other library workers in our state, being creative, and problem solving in a collaborative way.   Her goals are to: support children’s library workers with CSD workshops, support the CSD board in their duties, and represent the CSD at OLA meetings.

Monica Hoffman
Thank you for voting in Monica Hoffman as our new CSD Chair Elect.  Monica is the Early Literacy Outreach Program Manager of the Umatilla County Special Library District.  Most of her patrons call her the Storylady.  She partners with early childhood educators and care providers such as Head Start, Early Intervention/Special Education teachers, private and in home childcare providers. 
She spends the majority of her workday delivering books, interactive, inclusive Storytimes and much more to these partners and the children where they are, removing barriers and promoting access to library services.  She would like to assist others to promote libraries to children and their caregivers with a solution-based mindset of removing barriers that may currently be preventing children from experiencing and enjoying our fantastic libraries and library programs.  Thank you, Monica, for volunteering!  We look forward to your service.
